Pastespecial with Late Binding
 

I'm writing a Microsoft Access application that integrates with Excel, and
automatically makes Excel do various things using a late-bound Excel-type
object.

Like so:

Dim ExcelApp As Object
Set ExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Now, I'm trying to select a range of fields and paste only the values into
another worksheet. My code works fine when I'm not using late-binding, but
when I am it starts complaining:

"Pastespecial method of Range class failed."

I've tried several variations, neither work:

ExcelApp.Selection.Pastespecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

ExcelApp.ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks :=False, Transpose:=False

Any ideas? Additionally, since it is quite possible that I will be doing a
lot more work in late-binding with Excel, is there any way I can troubleshoot
these kind of problems without bothering you guys?

Thanks!

Pastespecial with Late Binding
 

Hi Dustin

Stuff like xlPasteValues is most often enumerated numeric constants, which
are not recognized using late binding. The object browser in the application
(here Excel) is your friend then. Search for xlPasteValues and you will see

Const xlPasteValues = -4163 (&HFFFFEFBD)

now replace the constant xlPasteValues with the real value -4163 in your
code, and it should in theory work (it's past midnight here, so I didn't
test this). Likewise Const xlNone = -4142

You can also get away without Pastespecial or any enumerated constants

With ExcelApp.Selection
.Value = .Value
End With

Well, I tried this:

ExcelApp.ActiveSheet.Pastespecial Paste:=-4163, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

And it didn't work. Did I do it wrong?

Actually, that pasted nothing. Isn't that code just setting a selection of
fields to equal what it is already?

OK:

ExcelApp.ActiveSheet.Pastespecial Paste:=-4163, Operation:=-4142, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

This doesn't work, either.

"Application Defined or Object-Defined Error."

Any ideas?
