Hi,

You need to create an Excel object, open the existing Excel file and have an object reference to the newly added worksheet in which you want to write the values.

The sample code is as given below :-

m.ExcelObject = CREATEOBJECT( "excel.application" )
if TYPE( 'm.ExcelObject' ) != "O" && in case, Excel is not loaded
return .f.
endif
*XLFileToBeOpened is the XL file you want to open
m.ExcelWorkBook = m.ExcelObject.WorkBooks.Open( m.XLFileToBeOpened )
*Add a new sheet after getting the existing sheet count
m.LastSheet =ExcelWorkBook.WorkSheets(ExcelWorkBook.WorkSheets.count)
m.ExcelWorkBook.WorkSheets.Add(,LastSheet)
*Now write the Table Headers for file OutDbf, replace OutDbf with your filename

use OutDbf
go top
with m.excelworkbook.activesheet
for m.i = 1 to Fcount( 'OutDbf' )
.rows(1).cells( m.i ).value = FIELD( m.i )
.rows(1).cells( m.i ).font.bold = .t.
endfor
*Now write data from the table onto the next rows
do while !eof()
m.i = m.i + 1
with .rows( m.i + 1 )
for m.j = 1 to FCOUNT( 'OutDbf' )
.cells( m.j ).value = EVAL( FIELD( m.j) )
endfor
endwith
skip
enddo
endwith

To get the value of a cell, use code like
m.CellValue = m.excelworkbook.activesheet.Cells( m.Row, m.Column).value

I had indented the code with spaces, but the spaces didn't come in the sent message. But I hope that it still helps.
