Excel ActiveXObject : adding an image to a cell?

[callowaylc]

Hey all,

I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Essentially I am using
IE & jscript to build a excel page using IE's "new
ActiveXObject("Excel.Application")". Add a string value to a cell is
easy:

sheetObj.Cell(x,y).Value = someString

No problem - but of course, my boss wants to see the company logo at
the top of every dynamically generated excel page, which I have no idea
how to do? Looked all over google without any good leads; tried
variations of ..Value = new Image(..) and I even tried using html as a
string value (apparently I've gotten desperate). What I really need is
a godamn API for the
ActiveXObject("Excel.Application"), which I've had trouble finding as
well. Can anyone help?

Obviously. This was not going to work, ever. Excel is not HTML.

You already have the API (Application Programming Interface). You are
looking for a documentation of it, which can be easily found[1] at MSDN:

In particular, you are looking for

"Obviously. This was not going to work, ever. Excel is not HTML. "

- thus the "apparently I've gotten desperate" part of the message.
Thanks for correcting me on the API achro... gosh I'm sure stupid
