>>>Boris, or anyone, can you tell me why I now get an OLE dispatch (un-detailed) error with the below .width and ,Height commands? .DisplayZeros = .F. - no problem, or the commands after that.
>>>They were working fine before but now in a loop as I do this 2 times, once for each generated w/s which I later combine in one book, as per Naomi's supplied code.

>>>With loExcel
>>>  .Workbooks.Open( lcTempXLS)

>>>    .DisplayZeros 	= .F.
>>>    .Width	= 2000
