MultiLevelExporter
Description
MultiLevelExporter, developed by Norbert Limbersky, is a powerful add-in for Microsoft Access categorized under Development Tools, specifically Database Tools. The latest version, 8.5, brings significant improvements over its predecessors (8.5, 7.3, and 7.2).
This add-in is designed to enable seamless exporting of Microsoft Access structures into Microsoft Excel. These structures include Tables with subdatasheets, Queries with subdatasheets, Forms in datasheet view with subdatasheets, and Forms with subforms. Effectively, it "converts" these MS Access objects into Excel worksheets, maintaining the original Access-like drill-down view. This feature allows data from both the parental level and its children's levels to be exported into an Excel worksheet, providing a comprehensive view for further analysis or dissemination.
Users often seek out MultiLevelExporter when there is a need to share MS Access data with non-Access users. This capability is particularly beneficial when distributing data to individuals who aren't familiar with MS Access or don't have it installed. Furthermore, if your database contains sensitive information, MultiLevelExporter offers the option to export only selected tables, queries, or forms, thus protecting sensitive access data that you opt not to share.
Another key application is the ability to process MS Access-originating data in MS Excel while keeping parent-child layout. Once data is exported in this format, it can be analyzed using Excel's robust features like graphs, formatting, forms, and formulas—which are capabilities not available in MS Access.
For those needing to print complex data structures, MultiLevelExporter simplifies the process. Directly printing a parent-child tree-like structure from MS Access isn't feasible. However, once exported to Excel, these structures can be printed effortlessly. Additionally, the add-in supports the export of 1:N data from any non-Access database into Excel and other file formats, making it an invaluable tool for managing diverse data sources.
Given its functionality, the free download feature enhances its attractiveness for users seeking efficient data conversion and management tools.
Pros:
- Efficiently exports Access structures to Excel

- Enhances data-sharing capabilities

To sum up, MultiLevelExporter 8.5 by Norbert Limbersky is an excellent add-in for anyone working extensively with MS Access and Excel, offering a free download that makes data conversion seamless and secure.
