I have the book "Microsoft Office Automation with Visual Foxpro" and its all good stuff - but I think I could sell a client on doing some automation stuff if I did not have to spend time first writing a generic Word and Excel class to do stuff like opening each of these, opening/closing documents and all that housekeeping kind of stuff.

My download #9991 is a class that does both text reports and Excel reports. Sample included. It helps ease the pain by doing some of the repetitive stuff - for example, you can define a group expression, and automatically print certain stuff in .GroupHeader() and .GroupFooter() methods.

Take a look at it, and ask back for any questions.
