Hi, could someone please help. I am using the code below to open an Excel worksheet in a Foxpro v6 application. From the command window I don't have a problem, but when I compile the app, the Excel worksheet momentarily displays and then diappears. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

** code being used
gfile=getfile("xls")

If !empty(gfile)
oleApp = createobject("Excel.Sheet")
oExcel=oleApp.Application
oExcel.Workbooks.Add(gfile)
oleApp=getobject(,"Excel.Application")
oleApp.Application.visible=.t.
Endif

Kind regards, Mike Mayo
