Hi. I'm wondering if any of you can help me with a problem I'm having. It's
likely a trivial answer, but I'm not seeing it at the moment.

I'm using VB 6.0 and Excel 2002.

I have an Excel workbook that has information about days of the month --
each day having an individual spreadsheet 'Day (1)', 'Day (2)', etc. as tabs
along the bottom of the workbook. I want to be able to access information
from individual "days" using a VB application and do some processing and then
printing of the data in VB.

First of all, when addressing data on spreadsheet Day(k) of the workbook,
how do I do that. For instance, using

Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet as Excel.Worksheet
Dim row As Integer

Then later on I may use:

txtAmount.Text = xlSheet.Cells(row, 5).Value

but I need some way to identify 'Day (16)' as the worksheet that I'm
actually working on in this line. And, I want to have the "16" as something
I enter in a textbox at runtime to identify the day that I want to work on.
Then another time, I would use 'Day (9)', and so forth.

Can anyone help me on those things?

Many thanks,
Bob

whatever").Value

If you always have the days in the same order, you can also use:
Workbooks("Filename.xls").Sheets.Item(*index_numbe r*).Value..

In other words, if your second worksheet is Day (2), then you could
address it by calling:
Workbooks("Filename.xls").Sheets.Item(2)

but I need some way to identify 'Day (16)' as the worksheet that I'm
actually working on in this line. And, I want to have the "16" as something

So call an InputBox and set the response to a variable, such as TabDay
and then call your worksheets using:
Workbooks("Filename.xls").Sheets.Item(TabDay)

Can anyone help me on those things?

Was that helpful or more confusing?
