Access Diva Selecting a Worksheet

Selecting an Excel Worksheet from Access...

Often, I get asked to set up an import that allows the Users to select which worksheet to import. I use my standard frmImport and attach this code to the cboWorksheetName_GotFocus control. Take note of the 3 (three) fields... txtImportPath and txtDirectoryName are usually left the same but txtFileName can change. On my form I have a Command Button with GetFiles() in the Event Procedure so they can also select different files.

Once the file is selected and User tabs into cboWorksheetName, the code below allows for all the Worksheets to be displayed on the Combo Box...

Private Sub cboWorksheetName_GotFocus()
 
     Dim objExcel As Object
     Dim objWorkbook As Object
     Dim intWS As Integer
 
     On Error Resume Next
 
     Set objExcel = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
     On Error GoTo 0
 
          If objExcel Is Nothing Then
            Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
          End If
 
     On Error GoTo ErrHandler
     Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open( Me.txtImportPath & Me.txtDirectoryName & "/" & Me.txtFileName )
     'objExcel.Visible = True   'I prefer Excel not open
 
 
     For intWS = 1 To objWorkbook.Sheets.Count
     cboWorksheetName.AddItem (objWorkbook.Sheets(intWS).Name)
     Next intWS
 
       objWorkbook.Close False
       objExcel.Quit
 
Complete:
     Set objExcel = Nothing
     Set objWorkbook = Nothing
     Exit Sub
 
ErrHandler:
     MsgBox ("Error reading worksheet: " & Err.Description)
     Resume Complete
End Sub
