1) I check for Excel existence, but you may not need to do that. Also, you may get an empty sheet titled 'Object', if so, there's an easy way to be rid of it.


2) is .Orientation = xlLandscape

which is some Excel constant. You can look it up, but most of us #INCLUDE excel97_constants.h (or whatever you want to call it) to get these values, the file's available in the Files section here under Excel97 Constants, I believe...
