An OLE object refers to a discrete unit of data supplied by an OLE application. An application can expose many types of objects. For example a spreadsheet application can expose a worksheet, macro sheet, chart, cell, or range of cells all as different types of objects. You use the OLE control to create linked and embedded objects. When a linked or embedded object is created, it contains the name of the application that supplied the object, its data (or, in the case of a linked object, a reference to the data), and an image of the data.
