Hi Adam,

In general:

ox = CREATEOBJECT("excel.application")
ox.VISIBLE = .T.
ox.Workbooks.ADD
ox.ActiveCell.SELECT
WITH ox.SELECTION.Interior
	.ColorIndex = 34 && Cyan
	* Some optional settings
	*        .Pattern = xlSolid
	*       .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
ENDWITH

You can get the Excel constants values from file#9498 in Downloads section
Your best friend may be not the reference site, but simply Excel Macro recorder :). Do what you want in Excel, recording the macro, then edit it and translate the code into VFP.
