Object Handling in Siebel VB

Windows uses the Common Object Model (COM) standard for allowing supported applications to access one another's functionality. An object is the end product of a software application, such as a document from a word processing application. Therefore, the Object data type permits your Siebel VB code to access another software application through its objects and change those objects.
