Fellow foxers
I have resolved the issue I encountered.
The following works well
sele foxdata
go top
With loExcel
.Workbooks.Open(lcFile)
scan
Mdata =Alltrim(foxdata.sheet2) && EG "J16"
Msheet=ALLTRIM(sheet1) && EG "Expenses"
.Application.Worksheets("&msheet").Activate && Select sheet
.Range("&Mdata").Select
.Selection=foxdata.balance
ETC
In other words, the problem was not with "" or & and all red herrings
In the end I found the problem that the sheets in the spreadsheet were
protected
Once I re-created the spreadsheet and did not make the sheets Protected,
all problems went away.
