Ok.. i managed to solve this.. here is the code for others to use
rivate Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Define an excel object

*.xls")

On Error GoTo fileNotOpened
objExcel.Workbooks.Open Filename:=ExcelToBeOpened
objExcel.Visible = True

objExcel.Sheets("Risk, Issue Metrics").Select
objExcel.Cells(9, 1).Value = "No. of minor risks open (i.e. with risk
exposure between 3.5 and 0)"
Application.Visible = True
