Hi all

In vb  I do:

Dim Ex As New Excel.Application
Ex.Workbooks.Open "c:\tmp\Book1.xls"

Similar code in VC doesn't work:

#pragma comment(lib, "ole32.lib")
#import "c:\program files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XL5EN32.OLB"
rename("DialogBox","__AA__")

/* ... */

Excel::ApplicationPtr app(L"Excel.Application");
((Excel::WorkbooksPtr)app->Workbooks())->Open(_variant_t("c:\\tmp\\Book1.xl­s"));

Index is wrong - yes because we didn't open Workbook yet

How to eliminate/fix/bypass this error

Or may be it should be different way to open Excel workbook in VC?

Best regards,
Vasiliy
