FWIW, for some strange reasons this syntax doesn't work in VFP. I've seen the same syntax error when using the move() method. In order to make this work under VFP, you need to assign the worksheet to copy/move to a memvar. The following code illustrates the problem and solution:

oXls=CREATEOBJECT("excel.application")
oXls.Application.Workbooks.Add()
oXls.visible=.t.

oXls.Sheets[1].Copy(, oXls.Sheets[3]) && Syntax error

oSheetToCopy = oXls.Sheets[1]
oSheetToCopy.Copy(, oXls.Sheets[3])   && works

I don't know the reason why the first line causes a syntax error. Anyway, the workaround is easy enough. As I said, the same applies to the move method.
