Excel Scripting in QTP
Excel File / Work Book Operations
--------------------------------------------------
'Objects in Excel Object Model
a) Excel Application - Excel Application Object
b) Excel Workbook / File - Workbook Object
c) Excel Worksheet / sheet - Worksheet
------------------------------------------------------
Note: Without creating Work Book Object and Work Sheet Object,
we can perform all Excel Application Operations using Excel
Application(Main) Object, but for user friendliness we use those
objects.
'Creating Excel Application Object
Set Variable=CreateObject("Excel.Application")'Create Excel
Application Object
