Note
For unbound object frames and charts , you can't change the OLETypeAllowed setting after an object is created. For bound object frames, you can change the setting after the object is created. Changing the OLETypeAllowed property setting only affects new objects that you add to the control.

Example
The following example creates a linked OLE object using an unbound object frame named OLE1 and sizes the control to display the object's entire contents when the user clicks a command button.
Sub Command1_Click
OLE1.Class = "Excel.Sheet" ' Set class name.
' Specify type of object.
OLE1.OLETypeAllowed = acOLELinked
' Specify source file.
OLE1.SourceDoc = "C:\Excel\Oletext.xls"
' Specify data to create link to.
OLE1.SourceItem = "R1C1:R5C5"
' Create linked object.
OLE1.Action = acOLECreateLink
' Adjust control size.
OLE1.SizeMode = acOLESizeZoom
End Sub
