I fail to see how it could have worked in a previous incarnation, cell is
not a object data type.

Thanks guys, never thought of applying a single cell range as a pointer to
an
individual cell ie (a1:a1) was too busy looking for reasons why something
that worked in a previous incarnation failed!

There is no object in Excel named "Cell". Use "Range" instead.

I am using the excell 10 lib from MS Access to reference excel
worksheets.
My code, which worked in previous incarnations, now falls over!
The lib no
longer recognises CELL or CELLS, any clues?

Dim objXL As Object ' Variable to hold reference to Microsoft
Excel.
Dim wkbXLBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim wksSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim ExcelWasNotRunning As Boolean ' Flag for final release.
Dim r As Excel.Range

Dim cl As Cell *This no longer compiles / works*
