[AccessD] OT - Worksheet Object

I would go further and say one has to be very careful about embedding excel
worksheets. I was involved in a case where the CFO cut and pasted  a summary
salary analysis into an email. When you do that the entire workbook is
actually embedded. I was able to open the workbook and extract the detailed
salary worksheets. He was one embarrassed CFO, particularly since he had
been so proud of his High-tec cut and paste job!

Nope. This is totally standard embedded object behavior. Another way to get
into the worksheet object to edit it is to double click on it.
