I am using the excell 10 lib from MS Access to reference excel worksheets.
My code, which worked in previous incarnations, now falls over! The lib no
longer recognises CELL or CELLS, any clues?

Dim objXL As Object ' Variable to hold reference to Microsoft Excel.
Dim wkbXLBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim wksSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim ExcelWasNotRunning As Boolean ' Flag for final release.
Dim r As Excel.Range

Dim cl As Cell *This no longer compiles / works*

Cell is not anj object, and you should properly qualify it perhaps

Dim objXL As Excel.Application
Dim wkbXLBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim wksSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim ExcelWasNotRunning As Boolean .
Dim r As Excel.Range

Dim cl As Excel.Range

There is no object in Excel named "Cell". Use "Range" instead.

Thanks guys, never thought of applying a single cell range as a pointer to an
individual cell ie (a1:a1) was too busy looking for reasons why something
that worked in a previous incarnation failed!

I fail to see how it could have worked in a previous incarnation, cell is
not a object data type.
