Robert,

It looks from your VB code that Shift is a named argument for the Shift method. VFP can't use named arguments so you have to put it in the right place in the method call:

ox.Rows("1:3").select
ox.Selection.Insert( [optional argument commas go here] xlDown )

>Rows("1:3").select
>Selection.Insert Shift:=xldown
>
>I tried:
>ox.rows("1:3").select
>ox.selection.insert.shift(xldown)
>
>The rows are inserted in to the worksheet but I get a Foxpro error telling me:
>Member INSERT does not evaluate to an object.
