Tried that! Same problem.

I just did one more test, though...I made all of my
variables objects and just did late binding on everything
and it works. I'd obviously rather use early binding for
everything, but if I can't get that to work then I guess
I'm stuck with that solution.

I appreciate the quick reply!

Knowing nothing about VB.NET doesn't stop me. Does this
works:

exl = New Excel.Application()
wrkBK = exl.Workbooks.Open("somefile.xls")
