Excel File / Work Book Operations--------------------------------------------------'Objects in Excel Object Model

a) Excel Application - Excel Application Object

b) Excel Workbook / File - Workbook Object

c) Excel Worksheet / sheet - Worksheet

------------------------------------------------------Note: Without creating Work Book Object and Work Sheet Object, we can perform all Excel Application Operations using Excel Application(Main) Object, but for user friendliness we use those objects.

'Creating Excel Application Object
