freeze panes from vba

[Keith G Hicks]

This works in a macro inside Excel

Range("G2").Select
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True

It does exactly what I'd expect. It puts a horizontal freeze line between
row 1 and row 2 and a vertical freeze line between column F and column G.

But I need to use from MS Access vba code so I'm doing this:

objExcelSht.Range("G2").Select
objExcelApp.ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True

It does freeze but not the same way. It only puts in a vertical freeze line
between columns F and G. There is no horizontal freeze line.

What do I hvae to do from vba in Access to get the same results?

Thanks,

Keith

Well this is odd. It works fine if I dont' make the thing visible until
after the entire process is complete. So I guess I'm okay. But I think it
should work even if it's visible while being created so input would be
appreciated anyway.

I've always selected the sheet first
removed the freeze panes
selected A1 to make sure it's visible
select the cell that I really want to use
and reapply the freeze panes.

Dim wks As Worksheet
Set wks = Worksheets("Sheet1")
With wks
.Parent.Activate 'correct workbook
.Select 'correct sheet
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = False
.Range("A1").Select
.Range("G2").Select
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
End With

(this is from within excel.)
