VB code issues between Access/Excel

I have a vb macro that extracts comments and specific colors from a workbook that works in excel, but I want to put the vb in an access db and I'm running into issues. Here is the code I execute in excel on open:

Sub form()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Dim oFN As Object
    Set oFN = Application.FileDialog(3)
    oFN.AllowMultiSelect = False
    If oFN.Show Then
        fn = oFN.SelectedItems(1)
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If
'Open and copy BoW
    Dim cpwb As Workbook
    Dim bowOld As Worksheet
    Set cpwb = Application.Workbooks.Open(fn)
    Set bowOld = cpwb.Sheets("Sheet")
    
    Dim dest As Workbook
    Dim bow As Worksheet
    Set dest = Application.ThisWorkbook
    Set bow = dest.Sheets("SheetLinked")
    bowOld.Copy bow
    bow.Delete
    cpwb.Close (False)
    
'Format workbook
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet").Name = "SheetLinked"
    Set bow = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("SheetLinked")
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Comments").Delete
    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Color").Delete
    
'Add Sheet 1
    Dim ws1 As Worksheet
    Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(after:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count))
    ws1.Name = "Comments"
    ws1.Range("A1").Value = "Location"
    ws1.Range("B1").Value = "Comment"
    Dim ws2 As Worksheet
'Add Sheet 2
    Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(after:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count))
    ws2.Name = "Color"
    ws2.Range("A1").Value = "Location"
    ws2.Range("B1").Value = "Comment"
    
'Get Comments
    Dim cmt As Comment
    Dim strComment As String
    Dim strLocation As String
    f = 2
    For Each cmt In bow.Comments
      ws1.Range("A" & f).Value = cmt.Parent.Address
      ws1.Range("B" & f).Value = cmt.Text
      f = f + 1
    Next
    
'Get Colors
    Dim MyRange As Range
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = bow.Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    Set MyRange = bow.Range("A10:AV" & LastRow)
    f = 2
    For Each c In MyRange
        If c.Interior.Color = 15849925 Or c.Interior.Color = 10213316 Or c.Interior.Color = 12040422 Then
            ws2.Range("A" & f).Value = c.Address
            If c.Interior.Color = 12040422 Then ws2.Range("B" & f).Value = "Purple"
            If c.Interior.Color = 15849925 Then ws2.Range("B" & f).Value = "Blue"
            If c.Interior.Color = 10213316 Then ws2.Range("B" & f).Value = "Green"
            f = f + 1
        End If
    Next

    ThisWorkbook.Save
    Application.Quit

End Sub

So I tried to adapt it to work in access and then I ran into trouble:

Sub RebuildDB()
    Dim xlApp As Object
    Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
    xlApp.Visible = True
    xlApp.AskToUpdateLinks = False

    Dim oFN As Object
    Set oFN = Application.FileDialog(3)
    oFN.AllowMultiSelect = False
    If oFN.Show Then
        fn = oFN.SelectedItems(1)
    Else
        Exit Sub
    End If

    MsgBox fn
    Dim cpwb As Excel.Application.Workbook
'    Dim bowOld As xlApp.Worksheet

Everything works fine up until I start to dim the workbook pages. Once I uncomment any of the lines referencing the workbook, it runs and nothing happens. If I Leave them commented out, the file selector pops up and displays the file name.

 

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
