reading cells by name/definition
Hello all,
just wish to know is it possible to read excel cells by their name instead of cell reference. i.e. instead of using xlsheet.range(A4).value, can i use xlsheet.range("my_given_name").value where A4 is named as my_given_name ? |

Did you try it? If you did you would answer your own question.

Which you didn't mention in your post.
It works, it must be your code somewhere. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) wrote in message ups.com... i tried it and it generated an exception citing problems with "getrange" method just wish to know is it possible to access a cell content by its name?
