Thanks Drew for the VERY quick reply.  Just one problem though.  The SQL
part doesn't work.  This is how I have set up my code thus far:

  Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
  Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
  With cnn
    .Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
    .Properties("Extended Properties") = "Excel 8.0"
    .Open "C:\MyPath\MyXLSpreadsheet.xls"
  End With
  Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
  rs.Open "SELECT MyCellTitle From MAY03", cnn, adOpenDynamic,
adLockOptimistic

If I add a $ to the end of MAY03 in the select statement as suggested, I
get an error "syntax error in FROM clause"  If I remove the $ I get an
error "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object
'MAY03'

I have successfully connected to another spreadsheet and succeeded, but
created a new spreadsheet from scratch and have the same results as the
first one.  Any idea why I can't connect to this spreadsheet?


Regards

David

Select `MyCellsTitle`
>From `Sheet1$`

That SQL will open a recordset with only one row.  (Of course the row
needs to have a header titled MyCellsTitle (whatever is in the first
row).

To open a ADO connection object for an excel spreadsheet:

With cnnExcel
    .Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
    .Properties("Extended Properties") = "Excel 8.0"
End With
cnnExcel.Open strPath

Hi, 

I am trying to collate relevant data which is entered into a vast number
of excel spreadsheets into one centralised access database.  Can someone
please point me in  the right direction on how to reference a cell to
copy to a table field.


TIA 

David
