Although there are a couple buit-in technique for exporting table & query records to Excel, mainly , if one wants to control the process a little more (edit fonts, print areas, etc) you need to create your own custom procedure to do so.  Below is a simple example to get you started in the right direction. This example uses late binding techniques and thus does not require any libraries to work!
