PRB: Embedded Objects Not Activated by Excel (75213)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q75213 SYMPTOMS
When an application attempts to activate an Excel embedded object
using the procedures of the OLE libraries, Excel does not activate the
object. Excel does allocate memory on behalf of the object.
CAUSE
Although the restrictions on OLE object names are the same as for
MS-DOS filenames, Excel version 3.0 does not activate an object that
has a backslash (\), forward slash (/), or colon (:) as part of its
name.
RESOLUTION
Avoid using the three characters, which were specified above, in
the names of Excel objects.
