I needed to export data from access table to an existing excel file and on an existing sheet. For this I found a very good solution through this website.
Usage
Public Function SendTQ2XLWbSheet(strTQName As String, strSheetName As String, strFilePath As String)
' strTQName is the name of the table or query you want to send to Excel
' strSheetName is the name of the sheet you want to send it to
' strFilePath is the name and path of the file you want to send this data into.
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim ApXL As Object
Dim xlWBk As Object
Dim xlWSh As Object
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim strPath As String
Const xlCenter As Long = -4108
Const xlBottom As Long = -4107
On Error GoTo err_handler
strPath = strFilePath
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strTQName)
Set ApXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlWBk = ApXL.Workbooks.Open(strPath)
ApXL.Visible = True
Set xlWSh = xlWBk.Worksheets(strSheetName)
xlWsh.Activate
xlWSh.Range("A1").Select
For Each fld In rst.Fields
ApXL.ActiveCell = fld.Name
ApXL.ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Next
rst.MoveFirst
xlWSh.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst
xlWSh.Range("1:1").Select
' This is included to show some of what you can do about formatting. You can comment out or delete
' any of this that you don't want to use in your own export.
With ApXL.Selection.Font
.Name = "Arial"
.Size = 12
.Strikethrough = False
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
.OutlineFont = False
.Shadow = False
End With
ApXL.Selection.Font.Bold = True
With ApXL.Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
.WrapText = False
.Orientation = 0
.AddIndent = False
.IndentLevel = 0
.ShrinkToFit = False
.MergeCells = False
End With
' selects all of the cells
ApXL.ActiveSheet.Cells.Select
' does the "autofit" for all columns
ApXL.ActiveSheet.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
' selects the first cell to unselect all cells
xlWSh.Range("A1").Select
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Exit_SendTQ2XLWbSheet:
Exit Function
err_handler:
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, Err.Number
Resume Exit_SendTQ2XLWbSheet
End Function

Call SendTQ2XLWbSheet("MyQueryNameHere", "SheetNameHere", "PathAndFileNameHere")
