    Exporting and sorting data in Excel from Access - Problem

    I am exporting data (5 queries) from Access into an existing Excel spreadsheet (5 worksheets) using CopyFromRecordset. This, however, does not preserve the sorting order of the data. Thus, I have to sort the data in the spreadsheet using code. This code works fine for the first worksheet but fails on the subsequent worksheet with "Method Range of object _Global failed" error. Can somebody please let me know why this error occurs and how I can rectify it? The code that I am using is below.

    Private Sub Command37_Click()

    a = ExportResultstoExcel("Qry1", 1)
    b = ExportResultstoExcel("Qry2", 2)
    c = ExportResultstoExcel("Qry3", 3)
    d = ExportResultstoExcel("Qry4", 4)
    e = ExportResultstoExcel("Qry5", 5)

    End Sub

    Function ExportResultstoExcel(qryName As String, Count As Integer)


    Dim dbs As DAO.Database
    Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
    Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
    Dim prm As DAO.Parameter
    Dim lastrow As Integer
    Dim lastcolumn As Integer
    Dim intStart As Integer
    Dim appXL As Excel.Application


    Set dbs = CurrentDb
    Set appXL = New Excel.Application

    'Select the data you want to output
    Set qdf = dbs.QueryDefs(qryName)
    For Each prm In qdf.Parameters
    prm.Value = Eval(prm.Name)
    Next prm
    Set rst = qdf.OpenRecordset


    'Open the receiving book and activate the required sheet
    appXL.Workbooks.Open "C:\Documents and Settings\DataSpreadsheet.xlsx"

    appXL.Worksheets(Count).Select

    'clear contents in all cells except the header row
    lastrow = appXL.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count


    lastcolumn = appXL.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
    With appXL.ActiveSheet
    .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(lastrow, lastcolumn)).ClearContents
    End With

    'copy records from Access to Worksheet
    appXL.ActiveSheet.Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset rst

    'sort data in excel

    appXL.Worksheets(Count).Sort.SortFields.Clear
    appXL.Worksheets(Count).Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=appXL.Worksheets(Count).Range("D2:D" & lastrow) _
    , SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With appXL.Worksheets(Count).Sort
    .SetRange Range("A1:D" & lastrow)
    .Header = xlYes
    .MatchCase = False
    .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
    .SortMethod = xlPinYin
    .Apply
    End With

    lastrow = 0
    lastcolumn = 0

    appXL.ActiveWorkbook.Save
    appXL.Workbooks.Close
    appXL.Quit

    Set appXL = Nothing
    rst.Close
    Set rst = Nothing

    End Function
