ACCESS: Macro to export query results to specific tab in Excel spreadsheet, whilst overwriting existing contents.

I'm sorry if I have offended you Bob, you have been very helpful I promise!

Thank you to you both!

I did try that (I think) ... The original code was for January, so I made a new call and changed "Jan" for "Feb".

The code exports nothing to the Feb tab, and Access ends up with an error:

Select method of range class failed.

It's not that I don't get it, I have tried but failed. :-(

Oh, and I merged the two threads together since there shouldn't have been another one to begin with.

You don't copy the module again.  As Scott said, you call it from wherever you want.  So, if you want multiple queries in one click of a button you would use:

Private Sub Image57_Click()

Call SendTQ2XLWbSheet("JP Completions Jan", "Jan", "O:\Public\Public Users Folders\Jack Powell\Jack Powell Target Sheet 2011.xlsm")

Call SendTQ2XLWbSheet("JP Completions Feb", "Feb", "O:\Public\Public Users Folders\Jack Powell\Jack Powell Target Sheet 2011.xlsm")

Call SendTQ2XLWbSheet("JP Completions Mar", "Mar", "O:\Public\Public Users Folders\Jack Powell\Jack Powell Target Sheet 2011.xlsm")

Call SendTQ2XLWbSheet("JP Completions Apr", "Apr", "O:\Public\Public Users Folders\Jack Powell\Jack Powell Target Sheet 2011.xlsm")

Call SendTQ2XLWbSheet("JP Completions May", "May", "O:\Public\Public Users Folders\Jack Powell\Jack Powell Target Sheet 2011.xlsm")

End Sub

and so on.  Do you get it now?

This is what Bob gave me, and it works, but only for one query to spreadsheet. When I copy both parts, and amend the call, it says the module is ambiguous.

Private Sub Image57_Click()

Call SendTQ2XLWbSheet("JP Completions Jan", "Jan", "O:\Public\Public Users Folders\Jack Powell\Jack Powell Target Sheet 2011.xlsm")
