[AccessD] OT - Excel VBA Cell Selection Syntax (x-posted)

This function works fine in my test workbook. Is "available items" correct,
ie. no leading or trailing spaces in the name? Also, make sure wsItems is
dimmed as a worksheet not worksheets.

Hi Jim,

Well - I got the same 1004 (Select Method of Range Class Failed) error.  I
am running from within Excel.

However, when I held the mouse over the wsItems.Cells phrase, intellisense
displayed the value of that cell.  Seems like a step forward but more is
needed.

try (runs from within Excel. If you want to run from inside Access you will
need an Excel object)

Function test()
Dim wsItems As Worksheet
Set wsItems = Worksheets("Available Items")
wsItems.Range(wsItems.Cells(2, 1), wsItems.Cells(123, 2)).Select
Set wsItems = Nothing
End Function

Hello to All,

I'm struggling with syntax for the selection of cells when trying to use row
and column indexes.  Below is an example:

Example A:
    Worksheets("Available Items").Range("A2:B123").Select

Example B:
    Worksheets("Available Items").Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(123, 2)).Select

Example A works fine, but B does not.  Both are from Excel Help files (see
the Range Property).  Once this works I will substitute a variable for the
123 value.

Thanks!
Dan Waters
