I am trying to manipulate a new worksheet from Access. When running this
code the first time the sheet is created and manipulated with no problem. If
I attempt to rerun the code it fails.

Run-time Error '1004':
Method 'Range' of Object '_Global' failed

any ideas as to my instancing the sheet? maybe the wrong method.


Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWrkbk = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
ii = 1
For i = 1 To 15 Step 2
Range("A" & i) = "Pre " & ii
ii = ii + 1
Next i

Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWrkbk = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
ii = 1
For i = 1 To 15 Step 2
xlWrkbk.Activesheet.Range("A" & i) = "Pre " & ii
ii = ii + 1
Next i
