I have inserted an OLE Object into my Excel reporting application
(1,5MB exe file)

This was causing dramatically change Excel file size from aprox 700k to
more than 4M...

I tried to select and delete the object then "save as" the file but
size is still the same...

Any idea how to return back to original file size (force Excel to
cancel the garbage and free-up space)?

regards

I remember J-walk saying to save it as a web page and then opening it
as a an xl and it should get smaller, find excel-vba for dummies site
it should be there
