Hi,

FYI

I run into the following problem.

Machine is Win 8.1, MS Office 2013

I try to create an excel instance via
loex=CREATEOBJECT('excel.application')
return (after some messageboxes, changing with the compitibility mode) is:

OLE error code 0x80080005: Server Execution Failed

After playing around I figured out that this depends on VFP's comptibilitiy settings
Win 95, XP or Win 7 will cause the problem.

It will not raise if compatibility is off.
