that error says that it has access to the database the field/column name does NOT exist in your database OR it does exist, but you are using and incorrect variable in your coding
is "3" { in rs(3) } a fieldname/column or was the intention to use an array?
if you may consider replacing "3" with an alphanumeric name
is "3" { in rs(3) } a fieldname/column or was the intention to use an array?

the number 3 represents the last of the 4 cells i highlighted and assigned the name "Priorities" to in the excel file i'm calling. i've also tried calling it like this:
rs("H42")
but it throws exactly the same error on that too
what do you mean alphanumberic name? should i assign a name to each individual cell then? then what about the SQL statment...will it stil be applicable?
rs("H42")

h42 has nothing inside..
perhaps use a static value

hey ya
just posted teh exact code...and moved the cells its supposed to call...the concept is...the first VBScript code enters values from the form in the previous page into specific cells...whhich affect all the other cells...and then output the final priorities generated

hi irwin...sorry for the half a day delay....
right so i assigned static values for the cells I42:I45 and i called them, it doesnt actually open the page......this is the error i get:
Error Type:
ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0CC1)
Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal.
/test/genPri.asp, line 147
where line 147 reads: if rs("I45") = "" or isnull(rs("I45")) = "True" then
could it be that i have a conflict because i made 2 independent connections to excel in the same page?hould i consider displaying the cells in some other way? if so you have any suggestions?
thanx
nadia

it is the I45 reference and defining that as a field/column....
