    Pulling Specific Data from Excel

    I have a database that needs to pull specific data from Excel.

    Specifically, one specific Access field should go directly to a specific
    cell in Excel and get that value.

    I'm thinking that I use some kind of VBA code to open my
    Excel file and assign the cell contents to a variable
    which I then use in Access. I think I can find the cell
    in Excel using a named range.

    I need the exact code, though.

    How do I do this?

    As answered on one of the many sites you posted the question, the technique you're looking for is automation:
