Reading from an Excel Document
Take a look at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/join.htm If you just look at each cell in an area the direction is left to right across a row and continue in the next row of the area. But you program the order differently, down and across, backwards, etc. Without something specific to go on, there is no specific advice that I can offer. I'd probably point you to a web page anyway but which one would depend on your purpose. What is the purpose? What do you want to read, what do you want to do with what you read from the worksheet. Do you want to manually make a selection beforehand, or is the program going to pick a specific address range. Do you know how to install and use a macro, that's not usually something one has to ask here. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Jabba Jaw" wrote in message ...

Reading from an Excel Document
thanks for the quick reply!
What I want to do is have a custom app read from an excel file generated by a legacy system and then update project plans with the specific dates put out by the legacy system... so column A has a unique ID (for each plan) and column B (for example) has start dates (xx/xx/xxxx) ... I want my custom app to read the unique ID open that plan then change the start date for that plan based on the date in column B (same row)... Any advice, ideas...etc...? Thanks again! -----Original Message----- Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/join.htm If you just look at each cell in an area the direction is left to right across a row and continue in the next row of the area.
