wtpcomplab,
You would probaly find it easier to use early binding (i.e. setting a
reference to the Excel library) and benfit from Intellisense. Then:
Dim xlApp as Excel.Application
dim xlComBar as Excel.CommadBar

Set xlApp=New Excel.Application
With xlApp
.DisplayAlerts=False 'If needed
For Each xlComBar In .CommandBars
xlComBar.Visible=False

......Other processing

The easiest way to get an idea of the Excel code is to record a macro of
your desired actions, view the generated code and edit as necessary for the
VB environment.

I'm having problems getting the programming correct using an Access Form
as a
front end to open an Excel Workbook. The workbook is already is in place,
but
the customer wants Access for the front end.
My problem is I can't figure out how to set the "on open properties" for
the
workbook.
I need to have the have a worksheet open maximized, and I want to hide all
toolbars.

Below is the code I have set to call Excel.
I have used the send keys to answer the system message about opening a
hyperlink.



Private Sub Command0_Click()

Dim xlApp As Object
Dim FleNme As String
FleNme = "L:OFFICE SKILLS\FRONT END - DATA ENTRY.xls"
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
SendKeys "{LEFT}{ENTER}"
'xlApp.Open "L:OFFICE SKILLS\FRONT END - DATA ENTRY.xls"
Set xlApp = Nothing ' set the reference to nothing

End Sub
