    Excel file path help!

    This is my code below:

    Code:
     Function searchdata()
    
            Dim objBooks As Excel.Workbooks
            Dim objsheets As Excel.Sheets
            Dim objsheet As Excel.Worksheet
            Dim range As Excel.Range
    
            'create a new instance of Excel and start a new workbook
            objApp = New Excel.Application
            objBooks = objApp.Workbooks
            objBook = objBooks.Add
            objsheets = objBook.Worksheets
            objsheet = objsheets(1)
    
            'get the range where the starting cell has the address
            'm_sStartingCell and its dimensions are m_iNumRows x m_iNumCols
            range = objsheet.Range("Q2", "AC5001")
    
            a = 0
            b = 1
            r = 2 'row
            Do
                Do
                    If aclient(a) <> "" And aport(b) <> "" Then
                        Do
                            If aclient(a) = objsheet.Range("ABr").Value And portnum(b) = objsheet.Range("Qr").Value Then
                                bytes(a, b) = ((bytes(a, b) + objsheet.Range("Zr").Value))
                            Else
                                r += 1
                            End If
                        Loop Until objsheet.Range("ABr").Value = "null"
                    End If
                    b += 1
                    r = 2
                Loop Until b = 6
                a += 1
                b = 1
                r = 2
            Loop Until a = 10
        End Function
