Hi, Gavin.

>This means that with automation you are limited to 65,000 rows ( I think <g> ).

This code works for me:

Local oWorksheet as "excel.application"
oWorkSheet = CreateObject("excel.application")
oWorkSheet.Visible=.t.
oworkSheet.Workbooks.Add()
oworksheet.Cells[65001,1].Value = "Hi There"
