[AccessD] OT - Worksheet Object

Well isn't that is nice little gotcha!

This does not happen with Outlook 2002 and Excel 2002. Tonight I'll check
with OL/Excel 2000. But it's certainly the case for Outlook 97. It's bad
enough for the whole worksheet that was the source of the pasted data to be
embedded, but the complete workbook as well?!!!!
