I tried that with the following:

Dim objAllSheet As Object
Dim ablSheetAll As Excel.Worksheet
Set objXLBook = GetObject("c:\test.xls")
Set objSheetAll = objXLBook.Worksheets("all")

                
objSheetAll.Cells("B1").Select
objSheetAll.Range("B1:b2").Select
objSheetAll.Cells(1, 2).Select

None of these worked.

John,

I think ranges and cells belong to the Sheet object.  You probably need
to
fully qualify the reference.

This has to be a no brainer.

Using VBA I just want to select an Excel sheet and select a cell.

Set objXLBook = GetObject("c:\test.xls")


I can make the correct sheet active by using:

objXLBook.Sheets("Sheet2").Select


but then can't select the cell. I tried

objXLBook.Range(.Cells(1, 2)).Select
or 
objXLBook.Range("B1").Select

What's the correct syntax?
The error I get is 
"Object doesn't support this property or method"

Maybe I shouldn't be using the "Range" reference?
