Hello,
I know this is an old problem, but I have looked through everything I can find and I can not figure this out.
I am trying to create a module in Access 2007 that will create a new excel spreadsheet. It gets hung up when it tries to Add a workbook. Here is the code:
Sub ExcelTest()
      
    
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Object
        
        
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
xlApp.Visible = True
    
Set xlWB = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
--
When it gets to the line:
Set xlWB = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
it fails and I get the error "Method 'Add' of Object 'Workbooks' failed"
I am running Access 2007 on my Vista platform. This code works perfectly at work using Office 2003. I have tried rolling back my references to earlier versions and I still get the same error. I don't know why it is not working, this is driving me nuts. Please help.
