>I am trying to do an Excel printout from FoxPro, and your suggestion seems to my solution. However, after executing the "Workbooks.open(myfilepath)" it gave me a syntax error for my printout command. I got the printout syntax from VB Edit, and I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Helen,
VB macros use 'named arguments' but you need 'positional arguments'. For details about this check Message #322745 and Message #343260 They're talking about word but applies to Excel same way.
Your corrected syntax would be :

.ActiveWorkBook.ActiveSheet.PrintOut && Default setting for copies is 1
