Hi to all.

I'll like to handle with xBase some cells selected in an Excel worksheet, so
I cannot use GetObject() because the range it's determinated by user and
change every time.

I'll try to retrive ActiveX object from Clipboard but checking it after
selection and copy of Excel's cells, I can found a lot of data formats but
the result of :GetBuffer() for the largest number of result it's NIL (see
below).

So please help me: it's possible to retrive a Excel.Range object from
clipboard and manage it as AutomationObject() ?

why Clipboard, just assign your Range():Select to a Array with same Size 
using

*** Code ***
   aExcel := {}
   FOR i := 1 TO 15803
       AADD(aExcel,ARRAY(11))  11 Colume
   NEXT

   ZPATH := "c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\A\Desktop\"
   cFILE := "YIUJAHR.XLS"
   ShowExcel(aExcel,ZPATH,cFILE )

PROCEDURE ShowExcel(aExcel,ZPATH,cFILE)
...
   oSheet := oExcel:Worksheets( 1 ):cells

 markiere den Bereich
   oSheet:Range( "A1:K15803" ):Select

 und schiebe das ganze ins Array
   aExcel := oSheet:Range( "A1:K15803" ):value

   MSGBOX("Cell A1 "+aExcel[1][1])

*** Eof ***

this will work with "alphanumeric" Sheets Data... i dont know what happend 
with BMP etc ...
