Thanks for the response. Seems we have a problem at a certain area while compiling. It does not like the Dim statement as far as Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset. Any ideas?

Try this code

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:\FolderName\DataBaseName.mdb")
' open the database
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("TableName", 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("FieldName1") = Range("A" & r).Value
.Fields("FieldName2") = Range("B" & r).Value
.Fields("FieldNameN") = Range("C" & r).Value
' add more fields if necessary...
.Update ' stores the new record
End With
r = r + 1 ' next row
Loop
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
End Sub

Export Excel worksheet to Access using VBA

I'm wanting to export an Excel worksheet to an existing Access table. I want to do this from within Excel using VBA and a user macro. I want to be able to append the existing records within the Access table. What's the best way to do this? Thanks.
