Working with Excel Files Using VB6

The code is totally self explanatory, In the load event we're going to open the new instance of the excel library and our excel file book1.xls will be accessible from our code. Then we'll use Command1 to retrieve data from book1, please note that you must have some data in the excel file. Similarly Command2 is used to put/replace the data in the excel sheet cells.
