AddOleObjectFrame as embedded file- link- 'object has been changed'

Hi.

I’m trying to add an excel file into a slide, and I have a few questions about it (I’ve seen the examples):

  1. Can I add the excel file as embedded file, that is, I will not need to keep the original excel file to see OLE object? (in your example, the file is needed).

  2. Can I set a link in any way so the embedded file will be opened by clicking on a link while running the presentation (the only way to open the excel file now is not in presentation mode, only in edit mode.

  3. Do you have a solution to the ‘object has been changed’ message? I know it is not your problem, but PowerPoint’s, but it looks really bad the first time the presentation is opened. Puting an image instead is only good for the first display and after than this image is changed to something else.

Thanks.

Hello,

1. You can check OleDemo. It creates OLE object with embedded excel file.
You don’t need to keep excel file after that.

2. You can try to create shape with external link to the file on disk or for example with http url.
In this case file should be opened in both presentation and edit mode.

3. Please read this technical tip. May be it can help.
