GetObject to get an existing instance of com object

[daylor]

how can i use the GetObject in vb,
to get reference to EXISTING instance of com object.

( again...existing instance not new)

You'll be better off with early binding. First, you would have to add a reference to the COM object you want to use, then you create an instanse of that object using New keyword.

'Create an instanse of the Word application object
Dim objMyObject As New Word.Application

lets say the one app create a new instance of com object.

how can i use the GetObject to get reference to
this instance.

pls write code sample that works.

cause i try a lot combinations with GetObject,,
and i failed.

thanks and bye.
