I am running some code by clicking a command button on a form. Here is the code.

Code:
Public Sub ImportHealthandSafety()
    
    Dim appAccess As Access.Application
    Dim strData As String, strDatabaseFile As String
    Dim bln As Boolean
    Dim intRows As Integer, x As Integer
    
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    
    strDatabaseFile = "C:\Users\Aziz.Rasul\Scheduling Database - Front End.accdb"
    intRows = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("New MSS").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

    bln = DoesFileExistinFolder2(strDatabaseFile)
    
    If bln = False Then
        strDatabaseFile = FilePicker(CurDir(), "SELECT DATA SOURCE", "Access 2010 or Later Databases, *.ACCD*")
    End If
            
    Set appAccess = New Access.Application

    With appAccess
        .OpenCurrentDatabase strDatabaseFile
        .Visible = True
        For x = 3 To intRows
            ThisWorkbook.Sheets("New MSS").Range("AB" & x) = Nz(.Run("ImportLandParcelHazardData", ThisWorkbook.Sheets("New MSS").Range("D" & x)), "")
        Next x
    End With
    
    With appAccess
        .CloseCurrentDatabase
        .Quit
    End With
    
ErrorHandler:
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
'        Resume Next
    End If
    
End Sub

I am, consistently getting an error 462 (The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable) on line

Code:
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("New MSS").Range("AB" & x) = Nz(.Run("ImportLandParcelHazardData", ThisWorkbook.Sheets("New MSS").Range("D" & x)), "")

as it runs the code in the database.

The MS Access database opens up with a form initially.

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
OK I think I know why it isn't working, I am using the Nz function in Excel which is a Access function.
