Using OLE in PowerBuilder
Adding OLE to you PowerBuilder application is almost expected if it is a typical business tool. Yet for some reason, this topic seems to get the "Oh, you'll figure it out!" attitude when a novice programmer needs assistance. I believe OLE is one of THE most important aspects of using PowerBuilder in a business environment. Your PowerBuilder application should be the well-designed "hub" that ties together all the commercial office tools into a "machine" that completes tasks for the user in less time and with better quality.
PowerBuilder should be like the home theatre component that brings together the television, DVD, VCR, iPod, game machine (or two), and maybe even the PC.
