AfxOleInit()
AfxEnableControlContainer();
CWorksheets oSheets;
CWorksheet oSheet;
CRange oRange;
// Start Excel and get Application object.
if(!oExcel.CreateDispatch("Excel.Application"))
{
AfxMessageBox("Cannot start Excel and get Application object.");
acedRetVoid () ;
return (RSRSLT);
}
else
{
//Make the application visible and give the user control of
//Microsoft Excel.
oExcel.put_Visible(TRUE);
oExcel.put_UserControl(TRUE);
// Add a new workbook and get the first worksheet in that book.
oBooks = oExcel.get_Workbooks();
oBook = oBooks.Open(........
Anybody done this for 2006 to start Acad and open a drawing using .NET or COM from another app?
