Use OleObjects in Code

You can create new linked and embedded objects dynamically by using the OleObjects Add method. For embedded objects, the Add method requires that you know the programmatic ID (progID) of the object you are creating. For linked objects, you can simply provide the source file name. Table 10-1 lists the progIDs of the most common objects.
