CREATEOBJECT

CREATEOBJECT(class [,servername])

Returns a reference after creating a new ActiveX or OLE object (Variant).

class	The application name and class of the object to create.
servername	(Optional) The name of the network server where the object will be created.

REMARKS

* This function can be used to create a new ActiveX object and assign it to an object variable.
* The "class" argument uses the syntax "appname.objecttype", where appname is the application providing the object and objecttype is the type or class of the object to create.
* The "class" can also be the entire class ID.
* If "servername" = "", then the local machine is used.
* If "servername" is left blank, then the local machine is used.
* To create an ActiveX object, assign the returned value to an object variable.
* Creating references through early binding can give better performance.
* This function should be used when there is no current instance of the object.
* Make sure that any objects created are removed afterwards by using Set object = Nothing.
* You can use the GETOBJECT function when there is a current instance and you want to create a reference to it.
* The equivalent .NET function is Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject
