Saving Excel and Word document in the same file

Has anyone ever tried to save a Excel document and a Word document in
the same physical file?
I have an application where there is always 1 Excel and 2 Word
documents and 1 or 2 other files that belong together. I want to save
them in 1 physical file so the users can't mix them up.

Any ideas?

Do you want to use VB.NET to do this?

You can compress them into a single ZIP file, for example. But this doesn't
make sense for me.

You can embed one document within another but that probably isn't what you want to do.

The old Microsoft Binder object was able to store multiple documents within a single file container,
but I don't believe it is supported any longer.

Hi Paul,
The old Microsoft Binder object was able to store multiple documents within a single file container,
but I don't believe it is supported any longer.

It's supported, but has to be installed from Office 97 or 2000. And for 2002 or 2003 the support has
to be installed explicitly, during setup. This would seem to come closest to what Tosch is requesting.

There are a couple of automation examples, although they're a bit dated:

And I have one in the Tips section on my website
(http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister) that shows how to create a
TOC for a Binder :-)
