Make the Excel visible before assigning Text. ie :

oExcel = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.Application")
with oExcel
 .Visible = .t.
 .Workbooks.Add("Some File Name.xlt")
 with .ActiveWorkBook.ActiveSheet
*    .txt1.Text = "Some Text 1"
    .txt2.Text = "Some Text 2"
    .txt1.Text = "Some Text 3"
 endwith
endwith

PS: If you want to make visible later use Value property not Text. But actually text works too. It might be that text is not autosized and not fitting there.
