Embedding a file into an Excel spreadsheet?

[Brian-in-CA]

I am trying to fully embed a *.pdf file into an Excel spreadsheet so that a
simple Adobe icon appears in a cell. I want to be able to email the
Spreadsheeet to co-workers and they should have the ability to double-click
on the icon and open the Adobe file. I have done this in the past but it seem
like sometimes the file can be opened and sometime it cannot.

Hi Brian,

would like to know about any workaround for .pdf & .zip files. For all other
office formats we are using,

Excel.Shape shp = (Excel.Shape)oSheet.Shapes.AddOLEObject(Type.Missing
,@"D:\Customers.xls" ,true,true,"packager.exe",0,"test.xls",Type.Missing
,Type.Missing ,Type.Missing ,Type.Missing );

What can be parameters for .pdf & .zip files?
