Example: SELECT TBL_FINAL.System, TBL_FINAL.[User ID], TBL_FINAL.[User Type], TBL_FINAL.Status, TBL_FINAL.[Job Position] FROM TBL_FINAL WHERE (((TBL_FINAL.System)="OS/400"));

    SELECT TBL_FINAL.System, TBL_FINAL.[User ID], TBL_FINAL.[User Type], TBL_FINAL.Status, TBL_FINAL.[Job Position]

The following VBA code works for me, creating a new Excel workbook ( .xlsx file) containing multiple worksheets ( mySheet1 and mySheet2 ):

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Sub ExportToXlsx()
    Dim cdb As DAO.Database, qdf As DAO.QueryDef
    Set cdb = CurrentDb

    Const xlsxPath = "C:\Users\Gord\Desktop\foo.xlsx"

    ' create .xlsx file if it doesn't already exist, and add the first worksheet
    Set qdf = cdb.CreateQueryDef("mySheet1", _
            "SELECT * FROM Clients WHERE ID Between 1 And 5")
    Set qdf = Nothing
    DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "mySheet1", xlsxPath, True
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acQuery, "mySheet1"

    ' file exists now, so this will add a second worksheet to the file
    Set qdf = cdb.CreateQueryDef("mySheet2", _
            "SELECT * FROM Clients WHERE ID Between 6 And 10")
    Set qdf = Nothing
    DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "mySheet2", xlsxPath, True
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acQuery, "mySheet2"

    Set cdb = Nothing
End Sub

Note that the name of the worksheet is taken from the name of the query (or table) being exported. If a worksheet with that name does not exist in the Excel file then it will be added.
