I am new at automating in excel from VFP and just recently tried it for the first time. I ran into a problem that I got a memory exception error - unable to "write" from excel when I was formating a range by applying a style which I had added. When I just formatted the range through automation without using styles, I didn't get the error (it was the exact same format). I also use the stlye a few other times in the spreadsheet before I get the error. The error when it comes doesn't occur during the automation, but rather when I try to access the spreadsheet post-automation. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?, as it will be rather cumbersome to not be able to make use of the styles property.

Thanks!!!
