I am new to VB.NET coding for excel, and so am probably missing
something real elementary he

I can get an Excel 97 VBA module to successfully include a reference
to a VB.NET project that contains the Connect class with the necessary
Guid and ProgId attributes and the five IDTExtensibility2 interface
methods, including OnConnection.

From the VBA module with the reference I need to fire-up code in the project
containing the Connect class and then have it accesses the instance of excel
with the calling VBA module. What piece of code am I missing to start up the
OnConnection method. The docs I read aren't too clear to me about how to do
this, making it sound like just the creation of the reference to the VB.NET
project containing the IDTExtensibility2 interface might set off OnConnection.
However so far I have yet to get a MsgBox to display from OnConnection.

I can get code in other classes contained in the same VB.NET project with the
IDTExtensibility2 interface to run from VBA, but nothing in OnConnection
and thus am unable to have the VB.NET project recognize my Excel 97 Workbook
as desired.

Thanks so much in advance for your insights
