How can I programatically find the path and file name for an embedded object? I know I can right click on the object and select Packager Shell Object and then Properties to find the information manually.
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
I just found that the object is being saved as a temporary file when I initially click on the object in the spreadsheet. The object is then opened from the hard drive. If I change the file name on disk at that point I get a file not found error message when I try to open the object again.
