Roy,
You could place a spreadsheet on form and access its application (excel.application) through obj.application. ie: Drag&drop an Olecontrol control on to your form and 'create from file' using your xls.
Insertting a webbrowser control (like FFC _WebBrowser) and navigating to excel file is better.
But to be honest I never suggest neither Excel nor Word in a form.
Check Thread #787305. Though it was for word, procedure is identical for Excel.
