Dennis, actually you can use approach when you set _screen.visible = .t. before REPORT... PREVIEW, and then set it to .f. again

>In the same application I want to allow users to Export data to Excel files, How do I invoke the built in Export facility, I have tried making a shortcut with the Menu/Shortcut builder, however when the shortcut pops up the Export option is dulled out, any ideas ?

Don't quite understand why you do this, but why not to use just
COPY TO myExcelFile.xls type XLS
