embeded excel control doesn't work properly if excel workbook is open through GetObject("xx.xls")
 

1. i create the following VB code:
-----------------------------------------
Dim myworkbook As Excel.Workbook
myworkbook = GetObject("c:\temp\control.xls")
myworkbook.Parent.Visible = True
myworkbook.Parent.Windows("control.xls").Visible = True

--------------------------------
The control.xls is very simple excel file which contains two check boxs
controls.

When the control.xls is open, the check value in the check box doesn't
stay when you clicked other cells.

One of reason might be that the GetObject("xcell file name") method
creates a embeded workbook under the excel application, that may cause
the embeded control under the embeded workbook doesn't work properly.

Is there a way to make these embeded control work? Appreciate any help
from your experts.

Regards

If you are using VB or VBA (not VB.Net) then
"myworkbook = GetObject("c:\temp\control.xls")"
is missing the Set statement required for all Objects.
It should read...
Set myworkbook = GetObject("c:\temp\control.xls")
