Writing to Named Cells in Excel from Access - excel

Question

I've Searched Forums here and I can't seem to get this code to work.
I am Trying to Open a Workbook in Excel, and then populate a few of the Cells(Named Ranges). I can successfully open the workbook(the workbook has a bit of VBA that runs when it opens as well, formatting stuff only) but when I get down to the inputting information I get a 'Run-Time Error "438" Object Doesn't support this property or method.'
From the Previous answers on other similar questions I have done everything the way it was suggested however, I can't seem to get it to work.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Sub MaterialInput()
Dim xlapp As Excel.Application
Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Dim RsClient As Recordset
Dim RsJobsite As Recordset
Dim db As Database
Dim ClientSTR As String
Dim JobsiteSTR As String
Dim customer As Variant
Set db = CurrentDb
JobsiteSTR = "SELECT T1Jobsites.JobsiteNickName FROM T1Jobsites WHERE T1Jobsites.JobsiteID = 1" ' & Form_LEM.TxtJobsiteID
Set RsJobsite = db.OpenRecordset(JobsiteSTR, dbOpenSnapshot, dbSeeChanges)
ClientSTR = "SELECT T1Companies.CompanyName " & _
"FROM T1Companies INNER JOIN T1Jobsites ON T1Companies.CompanyID = T1Jobsites.CompanyId " & _
"WHERE (((T1Jobsites.JobsiteID)=1))"
'ClientSTR = "SELECT T1Companies.CompanyName FROM T1Companies INNER JOIN T1Jobsites ON T1Companies.CompanyID = T1Jobsites.CompanyID" & _
" WHERE T1JobsitesID = 1" '& Form_LEM.TxtJobsiteID
Set RsClient = db.OpenRecordset(ClientSTR, dbOpenSnapshot, dbSeeChanges)
Set xlapp = CreateObject("excel.application")
Set wb = xlapp.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\coc33713\Desktop\VISION - EXCEL FILES\VISIONCOUNT.xlsm")
Set ws = xlapp.Worksheets("CountSheet")
xlapp.Visible = True
'Tried this second after reading another forum
'the comments Recordset will be the actual values used, but I can't get the String "TEST" to work
wb.ws.Range("Client").Value = "TEST" 'RsClient!CompanyName
'Tried this way first
xlapp.ws.Range("'SiteName'").Value = "Test" 'RsJobsite!JobsiteNickName"
xlapp.ws.Range(Date).Value = "Test" 'Form_LEM.TxtDate
xlapp.ws.Range(ProjectName).Value = "Test" 'Form_LEM.TxtPlant
xlapp.ws.Range(ScaffoldID).Value = "Test" 'Form_LEM.cboScaffnum.Value
xlapp.ws.Range(ScaffoldNumber).Value = "Test" 'Form_LEM.cboScaffnum.Column(1)
Set xlapp = Nothing
Set wb = Nothing
Set ws = Nothing
Set RsClient = Nothing
Set RsJobsite = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
As a Sidenote this is not a form it is just spreadsheet
Thank you everyone!

Answer 1

Use
ws.Range("Client").Value = "Test"
Or
Dim sName as String
sName = "Client"
ws.Range(sName).Value = "Test"
Reason being is that you have the ws object set already, so there is no need to assign parentage to it again. In fact, trying to do so will break syntax rules.

Answer 2

FWIW (not your issue - that is solved by Scott's answer): Note that
Set ws = xlapp.Worksheets("CountSheet")
should be
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("CountSheet").
Using xlapp.Worksheets("CountSheet")
is effectively xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("CountSheet") which might be (and probably is) xlApp.Workbooks("VISION - EXCEL FILES\VISIONCOUNT.xlsm").Worksheets("CountSheet") but it is better to do it correctly rather than leave it to chance.
Thank you guys!

Answer 3

This should do what you want.
Sub DAOFromExcelToAccess()
' exports data from the active worksheet to a table in an Access database
' this procedure must be edited before use
Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset, r As Long
Set db = OpenDatabase("C:\FolderName\DataBaseName.mdb")
' open the database
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("TableName", dbOpenTable)
' get all records in a table
r = 3 ' the start row in the worksheet
Do While Len(Range("A" & r).Formula) > 0
' repeat until first empty cell in column A
With rs
.AddNew ' create a new record
' add values to each field in the record
.Fields("FieldName1") = Range("NamedRange1").Value
.Fields("FieldName2") = Range("NamedRange2").Value
.Fields("FieldNameN") = Range("NamedRangeN").Value
' add more fields if necessary...
.Update ' stores the new record
End With
r = r + 1 ' next row
Loop
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
