Export Records Into Existing Excel File

Good day,

I am looking for an access module that will basically export a Query and
ovewrite all existing data in an Excel Spreadsheet from Row 9 on down. I do
not want to overwrite the file completely to maintain formating and header
data. I also have hyperlinks in the Query so is important that the format be
maintained and transferred during the export.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to:
1. Open the Excel file (Sample D:\Data\Datafile.xls)
2. Delete all data from rows 9 to end of data
3. Export the Query results into the corresponding fields in the Excel file.

OR

If is not easy to do this w/ an Access Module, the next steps I can think of
are to export the data and then use an Object variable to control an Excel
marco to do the following:

1. Export the Query using Transfer Spreadsheet to a temp file.
2. Open the Main Excel File, Open the temp file
3. Delete all rows from Row 9 to end in the Main Excel file
4. Copy all rows in temp file
5. Paste data from temp file into Main Excel file starting at Row9

Thanks for your assistance,
 
What you want to do is not toooooooo tough but you might want to ask
question in a excel group instead of access. I would pull the data from
access instead of push it to. Folks that use excel frequently pull the data
from many sources so they would be able to provide you a solution easier.
Can you do it from access, sure but you would have to make access talk excel
which would be a little bit harder. I would post to
microsoft.public.excel.programming to get your answer.
