Hi Scott --

Jeff gave you the immediate answer, let me give you some overall info what you have to look out for further down the path: Any Excel method or property requiring a parameter defined as "xlThis" or "xlThat" is looking for an Excel constant. If these cases, you have to substitute the actual value when calling from VFP.

Garrett Fitzgerald uploaded a list of all Excel constants and values here some time ago. Go into Files and search for "Excel" and it's the third download on the list.
