Default Subscript out of range setting Workbooks.Item(bookname)

Trying to write a class wrapper to handle calls to excel object model via
vb6.

'in cls
Private moExcelApp as Excel.Application
Private moWorkBook as Workbook

'FullPath = "Z:\0\0code\vb\excel\TestBook.xls"
Public Sub OpenWorkBook(FullPathName as String)
Dim fName as String

fName = FileNameOnly(FullPathName)
'fName = "TestBook"

If FileExists(FullPathName) Then
moExcelApp.WorkBooks.Open FullPathName

' subscript out of range error here
Set moWorkBook = moExcelApp.WorkBooks.Item(fName)


Else
LogError "File not found " & FullPathName
End If

I thought one could use a name as index to .Item property
what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Mark
