The Access accdb is located on the desktop, it is one file and has not been split yet and I'm trying to access the Excel file on the desktop. I attempted to use Bill Benson's code to test the path, but according to one member on Experts Exchange, MS removed that capability for A20007. I couldn't get it to work. I finally figured it out. I am a contractor for the government... that being said, one thing they install on all computers is a program called "ApproveIt" by Silanis. It keeps malicious code from running on the computers. When my hard drive was replaced and MS Office was installed the ApproveIt add-in to Excel was also installed. I removed the add-in. The key word here is "permissions" -- thanks Darryl Thanks for all your help.

I've used Windows 7 (64 bits) same results. I have a button on a form to export data to an Excel Workbook. Because of the limitations of Access queries, I need to export to three worksheets within the Workbook. I use Transferspreadsheet to export the queries to the workbook. I give the workbook a specific name and thus use a variable to be consistent. Exporting to Excel three times creates three worksheets within the same workbook. This works well... But what I need to do is open the workbook that was just created, insert a worksheet and then put the parameters of the export in specific cells. I then need to combine the other three worksheets into one and then format the worksheets. Everything was working fine for 3 or 4 months -- now it doesn't. My work machine lost network connectivity and nothing that was done would restore it. I do not have admin rights to the machine. The "help" desk personnel stated the hard drive was going bad and needed to be replaced. They gave me a new hard drive and installed Office on it. Now I cannot open Excel through Access. I've checked references. I scoured the internet to see if my code was wrong. But, I'm using the code that is recommended. I could find nothing. Error message: OLE Automation Error 440, <Object variable or with With block variable not set> Sometimes, I'll get... run-time error '-2147417851 (80010105)' set> Method 'Open' of object 'workbooks' failed. The breakpoint is at: With xlapp .Workbooks.Open strFileName It doesn't go past that line. Any suggestions?
