In Access, I use the following to refer an Excel file:

Code:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlWS As Excel.Worksheet

Set xlWB = Workbooks.Open(filename)
Set xlApp = xlWB.Parent
Set xlWS = xlWB.Worksheets("Data")

How can I refer to the first worksheet, irrespective of its name?

Thanks in advance

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try something like:
Code:
Set xlWS = xlWB.Worksheets(1)
