Author Save OLE Excel object to file
Rocco

2006-04-06, 3:29 am

I have a single Excel workbook stored as an OLE object in an Access
table. I am trying to figure out how to save this object as an .xls
file, open it, modify it, and resave it. I know how I can modify it
once it has been saved, but how do I retrieve and save this object
programmatically from Access?

Do you want to resave it back to the OLE field? Then simply Activate the
object and use the exposed automation Excel interface.

If you want to save the Spreadsheet to disk then you have two choices:

Activate the object and use the exposed automation Excel interface to force
a SaveAs to disk

Use the OLE extractor tool on my site to save the object to disk.
