Hi All,

We have an application running on a server to which we allow users remote access via terminal services / remote desktop. Our application has a facility where it automate Excel to create and populate a spreadsheet with data. This is done via

  TOBJ_XLS = CREATEOBJECT( "Excel.Application" )

However, under terminal services / remote desktop this would instantiate Excel on the server and we obviously don't want that. We want the Excel to be instantiated on the client machine. Under VFP help I find this command:

  CREATEOBJECTEX(cCLSID | cPROGID, cComputerName [, cIID])

and, if I understand this correctly, it appears that this command can be used to instantiate an object reference to Excel on the user's machine. Is that right? If so, how do I determine the value of the parameters required? Does SYS(0) help me? Any advice very welcome.

TIA
