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.

If you want to pass as a variable then it should be without the quotes else it passes as a string.

Yes, you don't need to use & when doing automation.
E.g.
cCell = "B" + ALLTRIM(STR(nRow)) && get some data from a table e.g. B1 B2 etc objexcel.Range(cCell).Select
cRow = ALLTRIM(STR(nRow)) + ':' + ALLTRIM(STR(nRow)) && could be 45:45 72:74 etc OBJexcel.Rows(cRow).RowHeight = 93
