Exporting to Access Help needed

Guest

I have this database where the data from a table is needed to be exported .
Now I someone gave me a code that will open an preexisting excel sheet and
place all the data there. I love this code but the only problem is that this
code just keeps adding data to that excel sheet. I need a way to have like a
save dialog box appear, so that user will be able to save the file, so the
next time they run this, it won't keep adding. Please help.
here is the code I got::

out before continuing!", vbOKOnly, "Data Capture Error"

I see you already have an open dialog to select the file. Can you modify it
to save a file? If not, here is a link to a very useful Open/Save API that
will do that for you. Once you are ready to do the export, call with the
Save and the user can pick a place to put it and a name to save it under.
You can also set a flag to warn the user if they are trying to save over an
existing file of the same name.

Here is the Link:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm

I don't know enought about those 3 extra rows. Are they on the same
worksheet you are importing? Do you mean you need to take fields from those
3 rows and add them to each row that you import into Access?
