Problem:
In Notes, you want to pull some data out of an OLE or an ActiveX object that is embedded
in the current Notes document. You want to write the data to one of the fields, using the
Notes front-end methods. What is an example of this?

Solution:
Below is an example illustrating how to get data from an Excel object using Lotuscript
front-end methods:

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
Dim handle As Variant
Dim CellValue as Variant

Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
Set handle = uidoc.GetObject( "Microsoft Excel 5.0 Worksheet")
CellValue = handle.cells(1,1).value
Call UIDoc.FieldSetText( "num", Str(CellValue))

Notice that when the GetObject method is used, the object's name is taken as the argument.
Objects will have names by default when they are created. To check an object's name, you
give it focus. When the object is highlighted, it will appear as a menu choice. To see the
object, select Object, Properties.
