Embed object error

[David Chan]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a RealPlayer control in an Excel
document. I click the "Other controls" button of
the "Control toolbox" group, and draw the RealPlayer
control. After I exit design mode, the control shows up,
and everything is fine.

However, after I save the excel document and quit, and
open the excel document again, the RealPlayer control I
drew becomes an empty rectangle with a big red cross
inside. What's happening?

Also, I'm using Excel 2002. Is it a bug in 2002 only and
not in 2000? Do I need to install any updates? I'm using
Office XP SP-1 already. Do I need to install VBA patch?

Thank you for your time!

Have you tried setting a reference to the RealPlayer control (under Tools |
