It never rains but it pours. As you may have noticed from recent post, I'm pretty new to this Excel automation lark. However, I do have some code that's been working fine for me. I've built my exe and it works fine as well as from VFP -on MY m/c

Now when my users invoke the exe and run this code:

EXPORT TO &lcFilePath TYPE XL5
loExcel = CREATEOBJECT([Excel.Application])
With loExcel
  .Workbooks.Open( lcFilePath) 
  If not thisform.lCustom		&& If chose non-custom, formatted o/p (default)
    With .ActiveWindow
      .DisplayZeros	= .F.
      .Width		= 1124       && <---------------- THIS THE OFFENDING LINE
      .Height 	= 645
   EndWith 
  With .ActiveSheet
    ...

my error routine reports:

OLE dispatch error 1479 at line 30 of ...., line of code = .

The actual line is:

.Width = 1124

but the routine says "."

What gives here?????

Of course Help tells me zip.

I suspected that it might be because Excel was already open on their m/cs, so closed it, but no difference.

'ppreciate it.
