Hi Teodor, Thank you for the quick reply. I agree that I probably need to learn more. However when it comes to this issue the parameter that you suggest is the one that I used in the first place. The problem with it, is that it does not set the background of the whole excel file to white, just the part witch the report uses. So the question is really is there away to set all the excel file to have no grid lines? If you feel that this question does not belong in this forum, feel free to ignore it or remove it. Regards Johan
