Russell: It's pretty easy.

tmpsheet = getObject('','excel.application')
XLApp = tmpsheet.application

XLApp.workbooks.Open(cFile)

WITH XLApp
** Sets Boldface for the top row
   .Rows("1:1").Select
   .Selection.Font.Bold = .T.

**Sets the D column to 36
   .Columns("D:D").Select
   .Selection.ColumnWidth = 36
ENDWITH

The easiest way to get the syntax is to do what you want with a macro open, then edit the macro and look at the code.
