Find Date and Capture Row Number of That Cell

I don't use Access, so this has not been tested in Access. It has been tested in Excel and PowerPoint. See the attached zip file which contains the following files:
a. ExcelForumFindDateInNewExcelInstance.xls - File that contains a Macro to find a Date in the Excel Data File (in another instance of Excel) and Delete all rows in the Excel Data File after the 'Date'.
b. ExcelForumFindDateInNewExcelInstance.ppt - Same as the previous file, but runs from PowerPoint. Code is identical except for the items in red below.
