Open Excel document from a powerpoint presentation (VBA, powerpoint)

Question

I want to open an existing excel document in the same directory with an ActiveX button during my presentation. The code

Workbook.Open "Dokumention.xlsx"

doesn't work.

Answer 1

You need to set the object first.

Dim xExcelApp As Excel.Application
Set xExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xExcelApp.Visible = True
Set wb = xExcelApp.Workbooks.Open("SOMEPATH\Dokumention.xlsx")

Before you run it you need to enable the reference MS Excel 16.0 Object Library
