Thanks for the links but these appear to be more about generating excel files from FT systems rather than opening / displaying an existing pre-populated excel file.
What I need to do is open up an existing excel file which contains data fields associated to tags that exist within the system. When an alarm is generated in FTAE, I need the FT command to open the excel file, then select the row that is associated with the alarm that was clicked to initiate this command.
Is there a way of using an embedded object or should I be looking to open up excel?
