Hi Jimmy It's not an OCX file that is being 'included' using the manifest, it's the Chilkat ActiveX library DLL, in case that makes a difference. I have already added those lines into our applications ARC file to include our manifest as a resource. The initial version of the manifest was only used t...

It will try to open a file or web url with whatever is the current default application in Windows.

Just pass it the name of your excel file and see what it does...
