Yuri:

Thanks for the help. It should be very useful for me. I have an additional question that I hope you can help me with.

thisform.oExcel = CREATEOBJECT("excel.application")
thisform.oExcel.displayalerts = .F.
Thisform.oExcelWindowHandle = FindWindowA(NULL, thisform.oExcel.Name)

SetParent(Thisform.oExcelWindowHandle,thisform.HWnd)

Is there any way to have it be part of a Page in a Pageframe object? There's no HWnd property (at least I didn't find one) for either the PageFrame or the Page. Is there any equivalent that I can use?

Thanks again. Your help is always appreciated.
