Hello Dave,

Via On Error function, you can bypass the message box.

-----Original Message-----
I have a timed event,in Access that opens an excel
sheet. Sometimes the
opening of the excel sheet fails and an Excel message box
appears saying
"unable to read file". This then stops further code
running in my Access
database.
What I want to be able to do is to close down the
excel message, from
Access so further code can run.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance
