I've been sitting here just ~assuming~ the whole time that Excel was
one of those application that didn't support multiple instances of
itself running at the same time. But, well, sure enough I just
opened a second instance of Excel with two separate process IDs.
Blushing. :]
The two instances are aware of each other though. Instance 2 opened
with Book4 as the default workbook name, as I already had 1, 2, 3 in
the first instance. I then created book5 in instance 1, went back to
instance 2, created another workbook, and that created as book6.
But I think you're probably right about what's going on.

Just a thought but is Research.xls open in a seperate instance of Excel. If
so then it is possible that although research is open that the macro can not
see it...
