Humming and harring whether this post should be in the Excel or Access forum, but i plumped for this one!

I have been struggling with this for a while and posted here 3 weeks ago with no answer.

I'm writing to Access from Excel with this code:
Sub Goods2DB()
    RstLog
    On Error GoTo Oops
    frmWriting.Show
    frmWriting.BackColor = Sett.Cells(1, 2)
    DoEvents
    With CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
        .Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=K:\KKDB.accdb;"
        .Execute "INSERT INTO TestOpen (TestField) VALUES ('" & Sett.Cells(42, 2) & "') "
        .Execute "DROP TABLE GoodsBackup;"
        .Execute "SELECT * INTO GoodsBackup FROM Goods"
        .Execute "DELETE FROM Goods;"
        .Execute "INSERT INTO Goods SELECT * FROM [Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;DATABASE=" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "].[DBGoods$]"
    End With
    Unload frmWriting
Xit:
    Exit Sub
Oops:
    strErrSource = Err.Source
    strErrDesc = Err.Description
    strErrDetail = "The Goods list has not been updated, please try again."
    frmOops.Show
    Logger "Err: Goods2DB", Err.Source, Err.Description
    Unload frmWriting
End Sub
The line in red errors with "Cannot update. Database or object is read-only." but it does delete the data in the Goods table.

I've also tried 

.Execute "DROP TABLE Goods;"
.Execute "SELECT * INTO Goods FROM [Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;DATABASE=" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "].[DBGoods$]"
but get the same error, even though it deletes the Goods table

Can anyone help me please?

Many thanks in anticipation
