Terry,

Yes, this could be done. Marcia Akins presented this technique in her session "Automation with VFP" in November 2003 in Acron, OH. Since it's her code and materials, I let you ask her directly about showing this technique here in UT.

Seems like this white paper is on Marcia's site http://www.tightlinecomputers.com/Downloads.htm (Tools & Utilities). See Office Automation article.
