I am not sure which group to put this in. I chose this
because I think I have to append and I am not sure how.

I have a template in excel that has the company I work
for's logo.....It has a few other lines in there such as
account # and a few other things..

This is all in excel..the rest of the excel sheet is blank.

Is there a way to append a query or table in excel to the
bottom of this template?

I use macros that convert my queries to excel and then it
emails it to me..

Right now I am copying and pasting that into the excel
template.

I am looking for an automatic way to do this.

Thanks
Scott
 
If you export to an existing xls file, I think it tacks it on as another
worksheet.

Anything more fancy will require using code to open, then write the data to
the exact area in the worksheet.

You can use an INSERT INTO query.

For example, if in your Excel workbook you had a worksheet called
Sheet1 and cells E3=RefID and F3=Surname (i.e. column headings) then
the following query would work:

INSERT INTO
[Sheet1$E3:F4]
IN 'C:\MyWorkbook.xls' 'EXCEL 8.0;'
SELECT
RefID, Surname
FROM MyTable

You don't have to be that precise with the cell address in the SQL
string. This would also work for the same worksheet:

INSERT INTO
[Sheet1$A1:IV65536]
IN 'C:\MyWorkbook.xls' 'EXCEL 8.0;'
SELECT
RefID, Surname
FROM MyTable
 
Cool. Thanks for the info.
