I have an Access database with ~30 tables.
How can I export all 30 tables into separate sheets in an Excel workbook?
I'm hoping to find some VBA/VBS code which I can run from within Access to accomplish this task.
Any ideas?

You should be able to do something like this:
Dim tbl as Tabledef
For Each tbl in Currentdb.TableDefs
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, tbl.name, "PathName.xls", True, tbl.name
Next
The second tbl.name
is the worksheet name.
Here's the full module I used.
Sub expotT()
Dim td As DAO.TableDef, db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb()
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Left(td.Name, 4) <> "msys" Then
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
td.Name, "C:\xExcelTables.xls", True, td.Name
End If
Next
End Sub
Here is formated and fixed version of above code. We don't need MSys tables in excel file and dbo prefix in sheet names. Export also can be made relative to MS Access db or fixed.
Here is code:
Sub exportTables2XLS()
Dim td As DAO.TableDef, db As DAO.Database
Dim out_file As String
out_file = CurrentProject.path & "\excel_out.xls"
Set db = CurrentDb()
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Left(td.Name, 4) = "MSys" Then
'// do nothing -- skip
Else
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _
td.Name, out_file, True, Replace(td.Name, "dbo_", "")
End If
Next
End Sub
