The statement

oleApp = GETOBJECT ("$$TEMP.xls", "Excel.Sheet")

works fine when VFP is installed. But, when I create distribution disks and install my system on computers without the complete VFP this statement crashes with an INVALID PARAMETER error.

Before I get this far in my code, the program checks for the presence of $$TEMP.xls and checks that Excel is present and responding to a GETOBJECT. I have written some VBA code in Word which loads Excel and a spreadsheet. This works just fine on the machine that the above GETOBJECT fails.

My guess is that I am missing some files.

Any thoughts?
