Cindy,

I have a couple of processes that copy a spreadsheet to a dbf on a nightly basis. Would you like a copy of my code? One of the spread sheets has a password and OLE and excel and VFP and passwords don't seem to get along, so I have to jump through a couple of hopes. Having said that, both of the prg's are very short.
