[AccessD] Excel Object - Can You Tell What Row Or Column Is Clicked

[James Button]

Paul,

You will probably get actual code to use if you post to 
Microsoft Excel Developers List <EXCEL-L at PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM>

With a fully specified definition of what you need, and from what
files/folders/current data layouts.

Thanks Jim,

The vision I sort of have for this is an Access form with a button to
select the Excel file, then open the Excel file and show it on that form
for the user to select a row and/or column depending on what sheet is open,
store the row and/or column values in Access along with the Excel sheet
index, then once the user has done this for all six sheets close the Excel
object, then I can run the rest of my code which I have already....I just
need to know how to open the selected Excel file on a Access form and store
the row/column values that the user selects into Access variables.....Would
you be able to point me to a site with something similar so I can get a
better idea of how to do this please.

Many thanks in advance once more.

Paul
