I would like to automate some computations done via mathcad (v15) within excel. A first solution (that works) is to add a new empty OLE object (mathcad document) and to the select the mathcad file we want to embed. Then it is possible to exchange data with mathcad using VBA.
However I would like to separate the mathcad file and the excel file.
I tried to add an object from a file and to link it (in the insert object dialog, by selecting create from file and link it to file). When I run my macro, I have the following message: "unable to get object property of oleobject class" (or something like this I use french version of Excel).
Here is my piece of code:
Dim MathcadObject As Object
Set wordObj = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(1)
'wordObj.Activate 'Launches mathcad: the file association is recognized
Set MathcadObject = Worksheets("Feuil1").OLEObjects(1).Object 'fails with error cannot get property value...
Does anyone has any idea on how to solve this?
