OK, I think I've got you now.


Here's a quick link to opening the Excel workbook for access to read and write.

Instead of doing msgbox "The value is" you'll want to stick some code in like:

<pre>
'Copy and paste the range:
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:G48").Copy Destination:=wkbk.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")</pre>

Obviously you'll change this code to refer to the actual workbooks and ranges you'll use.

To do the 250 times bit. You'll need to find a nice empty cell somewhere on your spreadsheet where the user wont easily find it.

When the button is clicked, stick this code at the front of your macro:

<pre>
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("IV65536").value = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("IV65536").value + 1

if Sheets("Sheet1").Range("IV65536").value = 250 then msgbox "hi I've been opened 250 time, by someone copying Arash the moronic A Level student's ideas for writing data to removable media."</pre>

that should work. Anyway, I need to fly now. If you've got any problems, I'll be back on Monday. Take it easy.

So you not controling the writing of CD from excel just wnat a reminder to manually copy you data



Why not just ask someone to do your project for you and then you won't have to mess with it at all? That's the route Arash would have taken.
