declare
args client_ole2.list_type;
application client_ole2.obj_type;
vworkbooks client_ole2.obj_type;
vdoc     client_ole2.obj_type;
vworksheet     client_ole2.obj_type;
vrange               client_ole2.obj_type;
begin
-- create app object
application := client_ole2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
client_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(application, 'Visible','True');
-- get workbooks object
vworkbooks := client_ole2.get_obj_property(application, 'Workbooks');
-- and open a file
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.ADD_ARG(args, 'c:\tp_ae.xls');
vdoc :=client_ole2.INVOKE_OBJ(vworkbooks,'Open',args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
-- get a worksheet object
-- for this to work you need to know the sheet name or its index
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.ADD_ARG(args, 1); <-- name or index
vworksheet := client_ole2.get_obj_property(vdoc,'Worksheets',args);          
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
-- get a range object which in this case is just a cell
-- for this to work you need to know the cell coordinates
args := client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.ADD_ARG(args, 'B6');          
vrange := client_ole2.get_obj_property(vworksheet,'Range',args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
-- and here you get the value
message(client_ole2.get_char_property(vrange,'Value'));
-- release objects          
client_ole2.release_obj(vrange);
client_ole2.release_obj(vworksheet);
client_ole2.release_obj(vdoc);
client_ole2.release_obj(vworkbooks);
client_ole2.release_obj(application);
