Excel automation: connecting to Excel

[Jack]

Which one is better (safer) way to do:

1.
If moExcelApp.Workbooks.Count > 0 Then 'when any sheet is opened
Set moExcelWS = moExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
End if

or

2.
If moExcelApp.Workbooks.Count > 0 Then 'when any sheet is opened
Set moExcelWS = moExcelApp.moExcelApp.Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1)
End if

They appear to do different things...
The first gets a reference to the activesheet, the second (ignoring the
duplicate app reference) gets a reference to the first sheet of the first
workbook.

Can you provide some context around what you want to do?

Thank you.
I need to connect my app to any Excel spreadsheet, which currently is
opened.
In the case if there are several spreadsheets opened, it does not matter
which one will be used.
