Thanks Shyam
I agree with what u r saying, reference is stored in a shape type variable
Nor do i but the problem arises in case of the tables when i am excessing
the rows and columns of a particular table
Since the id changes and may be there are some other changes to it as well
which result in a com exception in my code.
Basically when i start accessing the rows and columns i assign them to the
cell type variable but since it changes the id/name and may be some other
properties as well,
It raises a com exception

Regards,
Abhishek
