Not that I've seen.
You might be able to go the other way - using OLE automation, pull the file into Excel from VFP.
I won't be much help in the Excel automation, but someone else may chime in.
If not, reword and post a new thread under the OLE Automation category.
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
