[AccessD] Open Excel workbook from Access 2000

Hi Joe

I think it's the Excel app you need to make visible. Try

Excelapp.Visible=True

Subject: [AccessD] Open Excel workbook from Access 2000


I need to open a specific sheet in an Excel workbook from Access 2000.
There is no problem opening the workbook, the list of processes shows
that Excel is running.  The problem is that the workbook is not visible.
The statement to display the workbook ("excelWb.Visible = True") fails
with an error "Object does not support this object or method".

Does anyone know the correct syntax to display the workbook?

The code is:

Public Sub OpenSheet( strWB, strSheet)

    Dim excelapp As Excel.Application
    Dim excelWb As Excel.Workbook
    Dim excelSheet As Excel.Worksheet
    
    Set excelapp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    Set excelWb = excelapp.Workbooks.Open(strWB, , True)
    excelWb.Worksheets(strSheet).Activate

    excelWb.Visible = True

End Sub
