>My object for Excel is "oleapp". I have to be able to reference the range based on the fact that I know it's column A in the worksheet, but, the row (m.rownbr) will change depending on when I've reached the end of the file. Then JUST that cell needs to left align, since the rest of the information in the A column is set to automatically center.

Since you are asking such specific questions, about alignment, I assume you have already done some basic automation before. Anyway, you need some reference to a cell, or to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet reference can be obtained from the Excel object. Here is the sample code from my article:

local oExcel, oSheet
oExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oExcel.Visible = -1   && for debugging
oExcel.Workbooks.Add()
oSheet = oExcel.ActiveSheet
oSheet.Cells(1,1).Value = "Hello, World!"

Once you come this far, you can manipulate any individual cell (or range of cells - also explained in my article on Excel Automation). The usual way to do this is to save a macro, and adapt to Visual FoxPro syntax - mainly, change some object references to oSheet in the above example.
