You can add any VFP code anywhere, just add a WAIT TIMEOUT 1 WINDOW or something like that before your problem line.

>the following code stops:
>

>oExcel=CREATEOBJECT("excel.application")
>oExcel.DisplayAlerts=.F.
>oWorkBook=oExcel.workbooks.ADD()
>oSheet=oWorkBook.Worksheets(1)
>WITH oSheet.PageSetup
>.Orientation=1      <----------------------------HERE !!!!!!!!
>.FitToPagesTall=1
>.FitToPagesWide=1
>.CenterHorizontally=.T.
>.CenterVertically=.F.
>.TopMargin=1*72
>.LeftMargin=.75*72
>.RightMargin=.5*72
>.RightHeader="Page &P of &N"
>.LeftHeader="&F"
>.RightFooter="Printed on &D"
>.FooterMargin=.5*72
