This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access: It
includes examples of using variables in SQL queries.
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/sql.html

Or you can get there from the "Excel with Access Databases" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm

It demonstrates how to use SQL in Excel's VBA to:

* create a database,
* create a table and add data to it,
* select data from a table,
* delete a table,
* delete a database.

You can also download the demonstration file called "excelsql.zip".

The code is open and commented.

I would like to be able to export an excel speadsheet on
monthly bases by appeding it to an Access table. Since I
don't know how long the file would be each month I am
wondering if there is any way to write a vb function
checking for the end of the file. Ultimately, I would like
to have a command button that would append the file to an
Access table with vba behind it telling it what the excel
file range is so that blank lines don't get exported.
I appreciate your time and help.
