Hi Cetin,

Thanks for the reply.

After I've called the browser's navigate2("file://somepath/some_csv_file.csv") method I've added your code suggestion by modifying "myWBControl" to my object name, When I run the code I receive a Program Error - "OLE error code 0x80020006: Unknown name." when the line containing oXLS.Application tires to execute. From the VFP debugger, I can see that the object oXLS does not have this method. Did I not do this correctly?

Mike
