This is how I tried it from the start, but vb tells me expected line number or statement or label or end of statement.
( that is when I simply say ole1.sourcedoc = C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\xxx.xls
If I try
ole1.sourcedoc = 'c:\windows....
it says expected expression
Can you help me?
PS, VB6.0

Hey, I got it right, the problem was in the name of the xl file, it had a space in the name, I renamed it and now it works. I will however allocate you the points, just re-answer.
