Thanks to those who helped me load an Excel spreadsheet by calling Excel from FoxPro.

I wanted a straight-forward approach, without needing to utilize libraries or DDE. So, here's what I came up with:

-----

loTempSheet = GetObject('','excel.sheet')
oVar.ExcelApp = loTempSheet.Application
oVar.ExcelApp.Visible = .T.
oVar.ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open("c:\agetemp")

-----

"oVar" is a public variable I use for attaching variables as properties. This way, I can keep all public variables in one place, as an object.

The "agetemp" Excel file is created beforehand, after a selection is made on a grid.

Thanks a LOT!
