To use that construct, you need to create a reference to the Excel Object
library - otherwise,
VB doesn't know what Excel.Application is.

I'm trying to instantiate a excel application from VB and
have found several examples of programs in MS help
articles how to do this. However the statement "xlApp1 As
Excel.Application" causes the runtime error "User-defined
type not defined" What am I missing? --- Mike
