Example
The following example adds an OLE Container control to a form, and uses the OleClass and DocumentFile properties to specify Microsoft Excel as the Automation server and a Microsoft Excel worksheet as the file to edit.
The DocumentFile property specifies a worksheet named Book1.xls in the EXCEL directory on drive C. This example will not work properly if the file and directory specified in the DocumentFile property do not exist; it may be necessary to modify the DocumentFile property to specify an existing directory and worksheet file.
* The DoVerb method is used to activate the worksheet for editing.
