Exporting data from an Access Table to Excel Cells XP

[Connie Reed]

Hi All:
I wonder if anyone could explain to me to how to export a
field from an Access table into an Excel Cell in a
spreadsheet.
I have 21 tables of fields and a huge spreadsheet to
populate with all these fields.
I am doing this from a button on a form in Access, so I
would need to use VBA to populate each cell in the
spreadsheet. Need help to get started.
I am downloading this data from a Stratus Text file over
the network via ftp into Access and then exporting it to
Excel. The access part assures a restore procedure should
the user lose the data. The part I don't know how to do is
the above export into Excel cells.
Thanks for you help in advance, it's a relief to be able
to ask someone who knows how to do this.
Thanks again, Connie
