It's too involved to go into any detail here, but my preference would probably be to use the ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) object library to "move" the data.

You would be opening an ADO connection to both the Excel wkbk and the Access db, then running a SQL query to do the work. Something like:

INSERT INTO Table1
SELECT Sheet1.*
FROM Sheet1

I'm probably way over-complicating this for you - I just happen know more about ADO than I do about Access automation, which may be the way to go...
