with the help of you guys i ahve a access module that looks like this:
Public Function blnExcelFromAccess() As Boolean
Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
' Link to Excel using automation
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application"
' So you can watch what's happening...
appExcel.Visible = True
' Open Dummy File
appExcel.Workbooks.Open "G:\New Ideas\Dummy.xls"
' Open Management Action Plan
appExcel.Workbooks.Open "G:\New Ideas\Management Action Plan.xls"
' Calculate ('read' values from dummy file
appExcel.Calculate
' Close the dummy workbook (without saving changes)
appExcel.Workbooks("G:\New Ideas\Dummy.xls".Close False
' Done with Excel (omit if you want to leave Excel open)
appExcel.Quit
End Function
When i run this form an access macro the line :
'Close the dummy workbook (without saving changes)
appExcel.Workbooks("G:\New Ideas\Dummy.xls".Close False
gives me an subscript error 9, out of range!
all i want is to close an excel file from access? anyone know the error?
Also, is there a way to run macro's in an excel worksheet that is being opened by acces from the module or macro screen???
THANK YOU
