Vb's CreateObject Function

[Doug Asbury]

In VB you can create and return a reference to an ActiveX object by using
the CreateObject function.

For example:

Dim ExcelSheet As Object
Set ExcelSheet = CreateObject("Excel.Sheet")

Any ideas how to do this in Delphi? I am in the process of converting some
existing Vb6 code to Delphi 5 and this one has me stuck.

Thanks for any input.

var
ExcelSheet: OleVariant;
begin
ExcelSheet = CreateOleObject('Excel.Sheet');

ExcelSheet.?;

ExcelSheet = Null;
end;
