Dear all i am a newbie if it comes to vb.net, however i have been given an interesting task to accomplish.

i have to build an application that reads and wites data from a dataset or user input to an embedded OWC spread sheet.
Sadly the internet is a bit scarse n this subject and i seem to do something wrong in my code

Dim sheet As AxOWC10.AxSpreadsheet
sheet = New AxOWC10.AxSpreadsheet
sheet.ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1) = 1

above code is what i can make of to write to and OWC spreadsheet on form1
but then i het the error

'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.InvalidActiveXStateException' occurred in AxInterop.OWC10.dll

what am i doing wrong here? and can somebody help me reading from the same sheet, updating a dataset?

awaiting your reply
