Having absolutely no experience with VB I don't have much of a clue as to how to get past this. Is there anyone that knows where I can find information on the parameters and how to use them in VFP?

I've been able to do a lot of other things with Excel, but having spend hours trying to figure this out, there must be an easy anwser out there somewhere.

>>I am trying to find the proper syntax for creating a copy of a sheet in an Excel workbook. The VBAXL8.HLP file gives examples as:
>>
>>Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy after := Worksheets("Sheet3")

>>but I cannot get that to work. I have tried many variations such as:
>>
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy after oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet3")
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy after Worksheets("Sheet3")
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy('after Worksheets("Sheet3")')
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy(after Worksheets("Sheet3"))
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy('after oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet3")')
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy 'after oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet3")'
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy after 'oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet3")'
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy 'after :=Worksheets("Sheet3")'
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy 'after "Sheet3"'
>>oleapp.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy after "Sheet3"

>>The best I have found is that the copy is made but placed in a new workbook. I need to be able to create the copy in the same workbook.
