I don't have vb6 so I guessing a little bit here. I would guess that because
the excel object is not visible there is no "ActiveWorkbook" try dimming a
workbook object then set that to your open statement:

Dim ExcelWorkbook As Excel.Workbook 'Not sure of exact syntax
Set ExcelWorkbook = ExcelObj.Workbooks.Open 'fill in rest from your code
'Do formatting
ExcelWorkbook.Save

Let me know if that works.

Didn't work...i need to add to files..the original excel file
(psExcelFName) and the vba script(psXLAFName) and you can't add 2 files
to a single workbook only to a workbookS object...so i tried below and
still didn't work. Other ideas?

With ExcelObj
.DisplayAlerts = False
.Visible = False
.Workbooks.Open FileName:=psExcelFName, ReadOnly:=False,
Password:="", IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended:=True
.Workbooks.Add psXLAFName
.Run ("FormatReportScript")
.WorkBooks(1).Save
.WorkBooks(1).Close
.Quit
End With
