Sub PushTableToAccess()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim MyConn
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim i As Long, j As Long

Sheets(“Sheet Name”).Activate ‘Replace the ‘Sheet Name’ with your Excel Sheet name

‘Replace the ‘tblMyExcelUpload’ with your table name in Access

Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
rst.CursorLocation = adUseServer
rst.Open Source:=”tblMyExcelUpload”, ActiveConnection:=cnn, _
CursorType:=adOpenDynamic, LockType:=adLockOptimistic, _
Options:=adCmdTable

‘Load all records from Excel to Access.
For i = 2 To Rw
rst.AddNew
For j = 1 To 7
