Hi Peter,

Well, in regard to the Southwest Fox Conference, unless I can dig up some money I don't need, probably not. I have been unemployed for 11 months now and have only had a few very short gigs since November 14th of last year. The fact is, things have turned upside down financially for not only myself but a lot of other VFP developers throughout Canada and the United States. I think that the economy has done a rough job on many of us.

I can see that I ought to have gone into C#.NET and maybe ColdFusion a bit sooner than now. These are my two choices for coding. I like C#, although it is a little cryptic. I also like web development using ColdFusion, which is like powerful HTML, although it is called CFML. My problem is that I liked VFP so much that it seemed that I was betraying myself to move to anything else.

I actually thought I could continue to find work as a VFP Developer until past 62 years of age. I am closing in this month on 56 years of age, so I guess I missed my goal by a few years, eh? Can a 56-year old retrain? I think so. Will employers hire a 56-year old person? Not many will do that in my own opinion. One employer in Arizona actually outright asked me how old I was. Time to dye the grey hairs? Maybe.

I was getting one error which states

CLASS definition Excel.Application does not exist

I found that I used three p's in the word 'oExcel.Application' rather than two. I fixed it and it works fine.

Thank you!

Cecil

That is what I want to capture. Once I capture that data into an array, I will use it in a dropdown combobox on a form.
