    Output several query results in same xls worksheet?

    I have two select queries which have same column structure. The first query returns summary of the data and the second returns the actual data.

    I want to export the results from both queries in the same Excel worksheet. The problem is, when I use the SQL code snippet which exports query result in xls file, the second query complains with this error:

    Code:
    Table 'MyWorkSheet' already exists., error number: 3010
    Here are the queries:

    Code:
    SELECT 
    Count(MyTable.Col1) AS CountOfCol1, 
    MyTable.Col2  INTO 
    [MyWorkSheet] IN ''[Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Documents and Settings\MyCol2Name\My Documents\MyExcelFile.xls] 
    FROM MyTable GROUP BY MyTable.Col2;
    
    SELECT 
    MyTable.Col1, 
    MyTable.Col2  INTO 
    [MyWorkSheet] IN ''[Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Documents and Settings\MyCol2Name\My Documents\MyExcelFile.xls] 
    FROM MyTable;
    Is there a way to export results of both queries into the same Excel worksheet?

    Not sure if there is a direct way to do this, but you can create temporary table with Jet SQL(Access SQL).

    Create separate INSERT queries which will insert the data needed into this temporary table and then just one SELECT query with all data into an Excel file.

    Then you can also drop your temporary table with VBA/JET SQL.

    You can try to use a UNION query, something like this:

    Code:
    SELECT col1, col2 
    INTO [MyWorkSheet] IN ''[Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Documents and Settings\MyCol2Name\My Documents\MyExcelFile.xls] 
    FROM
    (
    SELECT Count(Col1) AS Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable GROUP BY MyTable.Col2
    UNION
    SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable
    )

    Exactly my thoughts.
    You could even insert something like a separating line within the SQL

    Code:
    SELECT col1, col2 
    INTO [MyWorkSheet] IN ''[Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Documents and Settings\MyCol2Name\My Documents\MyExcelFile.xls] 
    FROM
    (
    SELECT Count(Col1) AS Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable GROUP BY MyTable.Col2
    UNION 
    SELECT TOP 1 '---', '---' FROM MyTable 
    UNION 
    SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM MyTable
    )
    EDIT: The TOP N predicate is for MS Access. If you're exporting from another DBMS look up the mechanism to return only one row
