specialcells(xlLastCell) and method global range error

[tmort]

I have an excel file that I want to manipulate from within Access.
Access creates the file, changes the formatting, saves it then emails
it as an attachment.

I've added the following code to the section that changes the
formatting:

With oExcel.Worksheets("compliance export qry")

..Range(Range("A1"), ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select

End With

With Selection.Interior
..ColorIndex = 2
..Pattern = xlSolid
End With
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
'.LineStyle = xlContinuous
..LineStyle = xlNone
'.Weight = xlThin
'.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
'.LineStyle = xlContinuous
'.Weight = xlThin
'.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
..LineStyle = xlNone
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
'.LineStyle = xlContinuous
'.Weight = xlThin
'.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
..LineStyle = xlNone
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
'.LineStyle = xlContinuous
'.Weight = xlThin
'.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
..LineStyle = xlNone
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
'.LineStyle = xlContinuous
'.Weight = xlThin
'.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
..LineStyle = xlNone
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
'.LineStyle = xlContinuous
'.Weight = xlThin
'.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
..LineStyle = xlNone
End With

to set the page white.

It works fine if I run it once but if I run it twice in a row I get a
Method Global Object Range failed error.

Any ideas what this error is and how to fix it?

Thanks
