At least version 5.0 is. How to use COM from inside Forms is explained in the book from Albert Lulushi "Oracle Developer/2000 Forms", published by Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-949033-7. http://www.phptr.com/ for more info on the book.

However, you'll have a hard time finding out how to use Microsoft Office applications trough COM. The only book I know that does give you a usable hint is written for MFC programmers (other books are for Windows SDK -yeach!-, ATL or VB programmers...) The author is "Julian Templeman", the title "Beginning MFC COM programming" and the publisher is wrox http://www.wrox.com/ for references on the book. Elas, if you can't read C++ (and some MFC), I have no leads for you.
