Is there a way to call OLE functions from inside emacs to control
other Windows programs?

I asked this same question a while back. My motive was wanting to
call msdn automation object from emacs so I could get sdk help on
(current-word) by hitting a key.
There is a zip file floating around called com-access.zip that has
some patches in it to allow instantiating and calling COM objects.
But it had a few caveats and problems that I couldn't live with. I
don't remember exactly what as it was a while back, but take a look at
it. It might work for you.
I went a different route and used a plugin framework written by
Steve Kemp. Basically it's a patch to emacs (so you'd have to
re-compile), that allows you to call functions in a dll you write
marked extern. I did this and basically wrote a wrapper that let me
call COM objects from within the plugin dll.
Look for dynamic.zip @
