Thanks, knew i'd seen it somewhere!

ADO is good, but we don't have the latest version of ADO -
we're so out of date here!

Roger,

Here is one method. Read the caveat at the bottom of the
page carefully.

Another method would be to use ADO to work with the Excel
file directly

Not sure if this was the way i read, but i found one way
to do it :

just write the link in to the cell directly :

eg

range("a1").formula ="='X:\Derivatives\[he Euronext.xls]
Automate'!AF70"

If anyone has a better way, please advise!

Cheers

Rog

Hi All

A few years ago i remember reading that it is possible
to "get at" values stored in another workbook from VBA,
without having to open that workbook. It went something
like :

range("c:\myfile.xls[Sheet1]!D2") etc etc

Can someone remind me how to do this?

Thanks

Rog
