The best way to figure out how to do anything with Excel (or Word, or Outlook) is to go into Excel, start recording a macro, do what you want, and then stop recording the macro. Then go in to the macros and look at the source code. If there are any "xlValue" constants, press F8 and then hover over them to get the hard value.

That VB-like code Excel generates is almost directly insertable into VFP for use.

You'll find the code for performing the bold to be pretty straight-forward by looking at the macro code.

HTH!
