Thanks, John for the coding tips. Everything is good up to the ActiveWorkbook descriptor. In my Visual FoxPro 6.0, I am getting the following error: 'OLE IDispatch exception code 1000 from Microsoft Excel; Workbook does not have ActiveWorkbook property'. Of course, I believe this error results directly from Excel 95 incompatibility with this property. I'll be receiving my Office upgrade later in December. in the meantime, I'm not sure how to temporarily advert this error. If you have further suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks.

Thierry
