Hi Pete,

Have you tried just setting a reference to Excel in the Access VBA code
rather than instantiating Excel?

I would have thought that would be faster (but I have not tested it!)

regards
Charles

get exactly the same functions as I'm getting via the Excel object?

I should add that the VBA code in question is running under MS Access
2003.
