OLE2 objects are the milestone of COM technologies in SAP. You can connect any other system such as Outlook, Excel, Word, Adobe PDF from SAP with registering these assembly files of these systems.
You can not use OLE2 objects in background. While using some functions deal with OLE2 objects, there should be a connection to GUI.
OLE2 objects are very usefull while creating our localized applications. Such as you need to create an excel file with suppliying SAP data and so you can draw graphics in excel. We can diversify our examples. Think that you have a word template file. Such as a billing word document. You need to supply the required information to this template file. As a result, you can achieve your word document that was feeded with your SAP information as an output.
In our example, we will show a mail document in foreground. We will attach some documents to this mail. I have managed several document management projects in SAP. Documents are scanned and loaded into network and any document can be shown in SAP with the header information of this document. But, there is requirement that this document should be mailed easiliy. So, the fateful operation is adding the reqired documents to outlook mail message.
