Many office applications either do not have a hierarchic object model for internal objects (application, document, sheet, cell, and so on) or, if they do have one, do not have a property in the document object that points to the OLE document container. However, this is required for message communication with the R/3 System and for data exchange using the Table Collection.
To allow you to use these desktop applications, you can register the SAP Document Container for the relevant document using the optional register_container parameter. You can then access it using the GetObject() function, as demonstrated in the following VBA example:
Sub R3Test
Dim cont as Object
Set cont = GetObject(, "SAP.DocumentContainer")
cont.SendCustomEvent("ON_DATA_CHANGE")
End Sub
