Hidden excel application

B

Ben

Hi
I have an Excel application object that is not visible (Application.Visible
= False). When the user double clicks an excel workbook from windows
explorer, the invisible Excel application is made visible. Is there any way
to force a new excel application window to be launched?

Thanks
Ben

One suggestion to turn make excel behave nicely (always use the same instance)
is to:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

So to make excel behave poorly <vg>, maybe you could try the opposite:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (check it)
