I run the code below and get an error 'Data Type Conversion Error':

Sub DAOFromExcelToAccess()
' exports data from the active worksheet to a table in an Access database
' this procedure must be edited before use
Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset, r As Long
Set db = OpenDatabase("C:\TFI.mdb")
' open the database
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblTFI", dbOpenTable)
' get all records in a table
r = 3 ' the start row in the worksheet
Do While Len(Range("A" & r).Formula) 0
' repeat until first empty cell in column A
With rs
.AddNew ' create a new record
' add values to each field in the record
.Fields("ID") = Range("A" & r).Value

What datatype is tblTFI.ID, and what sort of data is in Range("A" & r)?

Does this work?

..Fields("ID") = clng(Range("A" & r).Value)

What do
I need to do to overwrite all data in the Access table with the current
data
from the Excel sheet?

Try -
db.Execute "delete * from tblTFI", dbFailOnError
