Thanks for the response.

I tried your solution. So I set the 'Public oXL As Excel.Application' in a
public module and deleted it from the AddinDesigner.
When debugging I get the error 'Ambiguous name detected: oXL' on the line
'Set oXL = Application'.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I am creating an COM Add-in in VB6 which connects to Excel.

Within the COM Add-in I have made some userforms, which have to do
something in the Excel-sheet. In de AddinDesigner (.dsr) I can use the
Excel object to make the changes in the Excel-sheet. But in the userforms
I can't connect to the Excel-object. How to handle this?


I have the following code in de AddInDesigner:

Option Explicit
Public oXL As Excel.Application

And:

Private Sub AddinInstance_OnConnection(ByVal Application As Object, _
ByVal ConnectMode As AddInDesignerObjects.ext_ConnectMode, _
ByVal AddInInst As Object, custom() As Variant)

AddInInst.object = Me
Set oXL = Application

So in the AddInDesigner I can use the object oXL.

But how to make use of the object oXL in the userforms??


Thanks in advance.

Greetings Arie



Hi,

declare your object oXL in a 'public module' (not a class).
