I am writing some small app to automate excel via CreateOLEobject and
they are working good.
Except that I require user to run my app first, then I will drive
Excel to open the file, then manipulate the data.

I see some other people is putting their app right into the excel
menu's bar, after the HELP, like MyAPP.

It is really cool.

I expect I don't have to write the select file to open and createole
etc. My code can right start to manipulate the current working sheet.
(?)

What is this called ? Is the mechanism built in my D6 Enterprise
version ?
(I guess the compiled thing is a DLL?) How does the user "install" it
into his/her excel ?

Is there somewhere on the web has a step by step guide ?

did you get an answer on this, I think you are talking about creating a com
addin for excel. Have a search for com addins in delphi there are quite a
few examples of this on the net.
