<div>
code above does that, if you want to control excel like you do with Excel component you can use:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; OleContainer1.OleObject<br />
&nbsp; OleContainer1.OleObjectInt<wbr />erface<br />
<br />
properties first of them returns OleVariant second IOleObject interface, but both of them are pointers to similar interface as TExcelApplication implements<br />
