The information in this article applies to:
When an application attempts to activate an Excel embedded object using the procedures of the OLE libraries, Excel does not activate the object. Excel does allocate memory on behalf of the object.
Although the restrictions on OLE object names are the same as for MS-DOS filenames, Excel version 3.0 does not activate an object that has a backslash (\), forward slash (/), or colon (:) as part of its name.
Avoid using the three characters, which were specified above, in the names of Excel objects.
