'- In Sheet1 is a DropDown, called: DropDown_Products
'- The quantity is in Cell F4
'- There is a CommandButton, called Button_Process
' to export both product and quantity to an Access
' database called ORDERS.mdb
'- ORDERS.mdb has two columns: Product & Quantity

Private Sub Button_Process_Click()

Dim dc
Dim db

Set dc = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
dc.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
dc.Open "C:\ORDERS.mdb"

Set db = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
db.Open "ORDERS", dc, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdTable
db.AddNew

db.Fields("Product") = DropDown_Products.Text
db.Fields("Quantity") = Cells(4, 6).Value
