Dear Farouk, Try opening an excel object under VFP (which you may have already done). Suppose your handle to the Excel object is 'objExcel', then call each cell individually from within a VFP program something like this; WITH objExcel.Cells(m.lnRowNumber, m.lnColumnCount).Font
.Name = "Britannic Bold"
.FontStyle = "Bold"
.Size = 10
.Strikethrough = .F.
.Superscript = .F.
.Subscript = .F.
.OutlineFont = .F.
.Shadow = .F.
ENDWITH
This is a working version for changing fonts and cell attributes. You could play around with ; objExcel.APPLICATION.RANGE((lcRange)).Select if you wish to select any range in the excel worksheet, or better still, WITH objExcel.Cells(7,7)
.ColorIndex = 6 .Pattern = "lsSolid" ENDWITH Hope it works for you. Sanjay
