Hi Joe,

See help on CREATEOBJECT and look at the ClassName parameter description. It says:

OLE objects are created using the following syntax for ClassName:
ApplicationName.Class
For example, to create a Microsoft Excel worksheet (which supports Automation), you can use the following syntax:
x = CREATEOBJECT('Excel.Sheet')

In Windows registry, you'd find the object registered as Api916.Dm916port (the application and a class of that application). This is a standard for any OLE object.

Hope this helps.
