I made an excel file with the name Lastspend.xls and a worksheet named T4OVERTIME and then pasted your code into a project. It worked fine. Do you have a reference set to the Excel library?

Add a reference to Microsoft Excel 8.0 (or any other verssion you have: select the highest) Object Library.
Then you can use the code like this:

Code:

---

    Dim objExcel As New Excel.Application
    Dim objWorkbook As Workbook
    Dim objWorkshet As Worksheet
   
   
    Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Application.Workbooks.Open("W:\LASTSPEND.XLS")
    Set objWorkshet = objWorkbook.Worksheets("T4OVERTIME")
    objExcel.Visible = True
