Lonnie, Be sure to set the DAO reference and the Excel reference. This works in Access/Excel 2000. Please see comment about where to set column and row reference. This code currently uses A1 as the starting point. Good Luck Hal

I want to start on a certain line. The columns are already predefined and match my recordset. This will run each month so it will need to overwrite the prior month's data. What is the best way to go about this? May God bless you beyond your imagination! Lonnie Johnson ProDev, Professional Development of MS Access Databases Visit me at ==> http://www.prodev.us Yahoo!
