Nadya,

This will work. The only problem is that you have no control over Excel and what the user does. Basically, the PrintPreview() method is like a modal form. VFP doesn't process the next line until the user closes the preview. That's why I ask the user whether to save the file or not. If the user decides not to save the file, Excel is closed and the file is deleted from disk. If the s/he answers < Yes > then the Excel file is displayed in normal mode.

If you simply display the Excel file then you have no (easy) control. If the user closes the Excel file, Excel asks if the user wants to save the file. If the user choses < No >, the file remains on disk. I find this rather confusing for the user.

I hope this makes sense to you?
