Problem in excel VBA coding **RESOLVED**

Hi all,
I did the following coding for retrieving some vaues from a excel sheet but I am facing problem in the red colour line "IsEmpty".

Run-Time error '1004':

I am doing this in VB 6.0 (Not in Excel)

Help please.

VB Code:

[FONT=Courier New]Sub RetValFrmxl(ChuckTyp As String, Ports As String)
Dim XlApp1 As Object
Dim XlApp As Object
Dim ExcelWasNotRunning As Boolean
Dim ActSht As Excel.Worksheet
Dim i, j, k As Long
 
    Set XlApp1 = GetObject(App.Path & "\data.XLS")
    XlApp1.Application.Visible = True
    XlApp1.Parent.Windows(1).Visible = True
    XlApp1.Worksheets(Ports).Activate
    
    Set ActSht = XlApp1.ActiveSheet
    i = 1
    j = 0
 
   [COLOR=Sienna]     Do While Not IsEmpty(Worksheets(Ports).Cells(i, 1))[/COLOR]            
If ActSht.Cells(i, 1).Value = "" Then
                Exit Do
            End If
            If ActSht.Cells(i, 1).Value = ChuckTyp Then
                For j = 2 To 8
                    If j = 2 Then
                        A = ActSht.Cells(i, j).Value
                        Debug.Print A
                    ElseIf j = 3 Then
                        B = ActSht.Cells(i, j).Value
                        Debug.Print B
                    ElseIf j = 4 Then
                        C = ActSht.Cells(i, j + 1).Value
                        Debug.Print C
                    ElseIf j = 5 Then
                        D = ActSht.Cells(i, j + 2).Value
                        Debug.Print D
                    ElseIf j = 6 Then
                        E = ActSht.Cells(i, j + 2).Value
                        Debug.Print E
                    ElseIf j = 7 Then
                        F = ActSht.Cells(i, j + 2).Value
                        Debug.Print F
                    ElseIf j = 8 Then
                        G = ActSht.Cells(i, j + 2).Value
                        Debug.Print G
                    End If
                Next
            End If
        i = i + 1
        Loop
 
   If ExcelWasNotRunning = True Then
      XlApp.Application.Quit
   End If
 
   Set XlApp = Nothing
End Sub[/FONT]

Moved from Classic VB.

This worked fine for me in a test book.

VB Code:

Dim Ports As String
    Dim i As Integer
    i = 1
    Ports = "Sheet1"
    Do While Not IsEmpty(Worksheets(Ports).Cells(i, 1))
        MsgBox "Not empty"
    Loop

This done the trick

Do While Not IsEmpty(ActSht.Cells(i, 1))
