To answer my own question...

I can't believe I forgot to check the VFP Toolkit Help file. Here is their answer:

This functionality can be achieved couple of ways:
The first method is to create the object: Both a and b do the same job
a. MyCustomerForm oForm = new MyCustomerForm(); //Create a new object here
b. Application.Load(new MyCustomerForm());
c. Activator.CreateInstance()
Note: Please review GetInterface() to see how an Excel.Application can
be created in .NET
