What I ended up doing is using the _cliptext. I can string multiple cells using chr(13) for next row or chr(9) for next column and then
activesheet.paste to paste the clip text.

Thanks to everyone for their ideas.

>>>>>>I have been working on updating an Excel spreadsheet with data from VFP 6. I can do all of the basic processes, but the way I am updating is very slow. I am currently using oleapp.range("A1").value=somevalue then oleapp.range("A2").value=anothervalue and so on. Some of these processes involve a large amount of data. Is there a way to select a range of cells and update them all from an array or other source that would improve the performance?
