Getting the source name of an OLE Object
When I insert an OLE object (Insert Object Create From File), the
caption below the actual icon is whatever filename I specified in the Create From File textbox. Is there any way to get this source filename by code? I remember seeing .SourceName somewhere, but it failed for whatever reason. Does anyone have a specific example? |

Getting the source name of an OLE Object
From the Visual Basic Help file (Excel 2000)
SourceName Property OLEObject, OLEObjects objects: Return or set the specified object's link source name. Read/write String. CubeField, PivotField, PivotItem objects: Return the specified object's name, as it appears in the original source data for the specified PivotTable report. This might be different from the current item name if the user renamed the item after creating the PivotTable report. Read-only String. The following table shows example values of the SourceName property and related properties, given an OLAP data source with the unique name "[Europe].[France].[Paris]" and a non-OLAP data source with the item name "Paris". Property Value (OLAP data source) Value (non-OLAP data source) Caption Paris Paris Name [Europe].[France].[Paris] (read-only) Paris SourceName [Europe].[France].[Paris] (read-only) (same as SQL property value, read-only) Value [Europe].[France].[Paris] (read-only) Paris When specifying an index into the PivotItems collection, you can use the syntax shown in the following table. Syntax (OLAP data source) Syntax (non-OLAP data source) expression.PivotItems("[Europe].[France].[Paris]") expression.PivotItems("Paris") When using the Item property to reference a specific member of a collection, you can use the text index names shown in the following table. Name (OLAP data source) Name (non-OLAP data source) [Europe].[France].[Paris] Paris -- steveB Remove "AYN" from email to respond wrote in message ups.com...
