Here's a start on the Automation code. This code is modified from an example in the book, Microsoft Office Automation with Visual Foxpro (Tamar Granor/Della Martin), to fit your 9 column array, and has code to put in a header row(amended from the original of using data from a sample database. Totalling the columns was also removed).

Hope this helps!
