>Thank you for the tip. I wil be able to use that for my other Office automation classes as well. I knew there was some other method besides CREATEOBJECT(), but I thought it was NEWOBJECT() and I knew that wasn't going to do the job. I completely forgot about GETOBJECT(). I will be moving to VFP9 soon, so I will start implementing the TRY...CATCH later. I have seen examples of it in VFP and JAVA. I really like what it can do.

David,

Replace FOR EACh loop with regular FOR loop and see if it helps.
