I know how to extract data from an SQL database and load
it into Excel. How can I sen data into the SQL tables ?

This might be a help for getting data to and from Excel and Access: It
includes examples of using variables in SQL queries.
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/sql.html

Or you can get there from the "Excel with Access Databases" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm

It demonstrates how to use SQL in Excel's VBA to:

* create a database,
* create a table and add data to it,
* select data from a table,
* delete a table,
* delete a database.

DAO and ADO files available.

You can also download the demonstration file called "excelsql.zip".

The code is open and commented.

I assume therefore you know how to run a query and have the necessary
permissions. To update a SQL Server database using data from an Excel
workbook, connect to the workbook using the MS Jet OLEDB data provider
and execute a SELECT..INTO query which specifies the SQL Server
connection string, using its ODBC driver (sorry, don't know of a way
to use OLEDB), in the query e.g.

SELECT MyCol1, MyCol2
INTO [ODBC;Driver={SQL
Server};SERVER=MyServer;DATABASE=MyDatabase;UID=;Pwd=;].MyNewTable
FROM [MyWorksheet$]
