Hi All, I have an application which while it is running holds open an instance of Excel. This causes a problem when outside of my application the user double clicks on a spreadsheet as it brings the instance of Excel I have in memory to the front and loads the double clicked spreadsheet in it. I have initially got around this by changing the way the file association launches Excel so that each spreadsheet is launched in its own instance of Excel. Although that is a reasonable solution it still presents a few problems which I wont go into here.
I was just wondering if it was possible to say duplicate EXCEL.EXE to EXCEL2.EXE and somehow register that in the registry so that I could do something like createobject(myexcel.application) which would launch EXCEL2.EXE instead of EXCEL.EXE leaving EXCEL.EXE to do what it wants to do. Any suggestions, the one commemt I don't need is why have I got excel open all the time my application is running, this is one thing which I am unable to change and won't bore you with. Cheers Chris. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
