No, but you gave pointed me down the right path. It is this:

employeeWS = DirectCast(Me.Application.ActiveSheet, Excel.Worksheet)
employeeWS.Name = "Employees"

Thanks for your help Mike! Greatly appreciated.

Set employeeWS = ActiveSheet

Good afternoon,

Based on the following Microsoft article, I am retrieving data from SQL
Server.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb964684.aspx

What this article does is create a a new Excel worksheet and populate that
sheet with the data (roughly on page 13 of document).

employeeWS = DirectCast(Me.Application.Sheets.Add(), Excel.Worksheet)
employeeWS.Name = "Employees"

I want to use an EXISTING worksheet, but I cannot get this to work. I have
tried several options, such as using:

Me.Application.Sheets("employee").Select

But it either bombs there or on subsequent code (depending on other options
I try).

I don't want to create a NEW worksheet so how do I use the existing
worksheet (the one that has the focus).

Thanks in advance. It is greatly appreciated.
