I then run another query to get another list. I first want to verify that the item in my second list doesn't exist on my spreadsheet already. I am trying to use the cells.find but am having problems assigning the result of the cells.find function. I also need to put the result in an if statement. I am trying the following: worksheet.Cells.Find(DM.qryAgree.FieldByname('NI 1234').AsString,emptyparam,emptyparam,emptyparam,emptyparam,emptyparam,False,emptyparam) What does cells.find return? How can I put this in an if statement?

A Range object. How can I put this in an if statement? You probably want to use its Value property. Ok, I set the following up and I get an Invalid variant type conversion: Var range: variant; begin range := worksheet.Cells.Find(DM.qryAgree.FieldByname('X_LAWSON_INVOICE_NUMBER_YORK').AsString,emptyparam,emptyparam,emptyparam,emptyparam,emptyparam,False,emptyparam) if range.value = DM.qryAgree.FieldByname('X_LAWSON_INVOICE_NUMBER_YORK').AsString Then begin .... end; I get the error when I try to assign the range value from the cells.find to my range variable.
