'Im currently creating a tool that will automate the submission of Data to Excel. My problem is, I wanted to submit multiple data to Excel.

For example:

I have 2 textbox (Item 1 and Item 2) and once I click the submit button. Data should be save in the Excel sheet (A1, A2) and so on A3... up to the next blank cell If user continue to submit data.

But my code store the data to A1 and B1 continuously.

<html>
<head><title>XLS Data</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION
APPLICATIONNAME="XLS Data"
SCROLL="yes"
SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"
>
</head>

<script type="text/vbscript">
Sub WriteXL()
strFileName = "C:\Users\ChrisLacs\Desktop\Book1.xlsx"
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = True
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strFileName)
Set objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Const xlCellTypeLastCell = 11
objWorksheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Activate
iLast = objExcel.ActiveCell.Row + 1

objExcel.Cells(iLast, 1).Value = document.getElementById("item1").value
objExcel.Cells(iLast, 2).Value = document.getElementById("item2").value



objExcel.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
objWorkbook.Save
objExcel.Quit
End Sub

</script>
<body>
<form>
<p>Item 1: <input type="text" id="item1" max="20" /></p>

</p>
<p>Item 2: <input type="text" id="item2" max="50" /></p>

<p><button onclick="WriteXL">SubmitL</button></p>

</form>
</body>
</html>

Thank You. Unfortunately, data are still being stored to A1 and B1.

Hi Xlacs - are you saying that the data is only ever going to be stored in Column A? So A1 would be Data Item1,and A2 would be Data Item2; then in the next submission, the two pieces of data would go to Cells A3 and A4...and so on...?

If that's the case, John's code above will still work, but with the following tweak:

VBA Code: 
    .Cells(iLast, 1).Value = document.getElementById("item1").value
    .Cells(iLast + 1, 1).Value = document.getElementById("item2").value

I reproduce the full code below for ease of reference:

VBA Code: 
<html>
<head><title>XLS Data</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION
APPLICATIONNAME="XLS Data"
SCROLL="yes"
SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"
>
</head>

<script type="text/vbscript">
Sub WriteXL()
Const xlCellTypeLastCell = 11
strFileName = "C:\Users\ChrisLacs\Desktop\Book1.xlsx"
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = True
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strFileName)
With objWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
    iLast = .UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
    If .Cells(iLast, 1).Value <> "" Or .Cells(iLast, 2).Value <> "" Then iLast = iLast + 1
    .Cells(iLast, 1).Value = document.getElementById("item1").value
    .Cells(iLast + 1, 1).Value = document.getElementById("item2").value
    .Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End With
objWorkbook.Save
objExcel.Quit
End Sub
</script>

<body>
<form>
<p>Item 1: <input type="text" id="item1" max="20" /></p>

</p>
<p>Item 2: <input type="text" id="item2" max="50" /></p>

<p><button onclick="WriteXL">Submit</button></p>

</form>
</body>
</html>
