Hi Gerry ---
You can create an Excel Application object via Automation in VFP and run the show that way. The Excel object model, which allows you to do virutally anything in Excel is documented in "Visual Basic Help" in the Excel Help Menu.
I don't have Excel here where I'm at today, but, basically, creating an Excel spreadsheet would go like:
=oExcelSheet = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.Sheet")
=oExcelSheet.Print
>I have to take a handfull of text and numeric values from within a FoxPro application and insert them into an Excel Spreadsheet.
>
>The Excel Spreadsheet probably won't exist but that is negotiable, I may also need to do some formatting.
>
>Would any kind soul suggest a starting point or a general methodology for this.
>
>Many thanks,
>
>Gerry.
