How to read Excel spreadsheet embedded in another spreadsheet

GH
Does anyone know how I can access (using OleDbConnection , I presume) a
spreadsheet embedded in a cell of another spreadsheet (with vb.net)?

Thanks,
GH

Couldn't tell you off the top of my head, but there are many VB.NET articles
with MS Office products on the Microsoft KBase website:

The embedded object would have to be extracted to a Workbook file first. There is no way to access
an embedded object using the data access libraries.

Thanks, Paul, that's what I thought would be the case.
