>We have a standard excel template which needs to be populated with data. The data is held in a number of foxpro tables. Therefore what I would like is for the user to click a macro within the excel document which will invoke my foxpro application. From this it will prompt the user for a particular record when they click ok the data will be imported onto a new sheet in the original excel document. From here I then use this data on my excel sheet.
