Thnx.

I agree container gives more info then IsInPlace.
thnx for the tip.

See my original post for delaying any event macro's until loading is
complete before calling on the container.

A better method is to use the Container property of the workbook.
This gives and Object reference to the containing object IF the book
is open as an embedded object (e.g. in IE). It fails (errors) if
Excel is open as a standalone app, so that needs to be determined
with some error handling.

Public Function ExcelOrIE() As String
Dim CName as String

On Error Goto MustBeExcel
CName = ThisWorkbook.Container.Name

If CName = "Microsoft Internet Explorer" Then CName = "IE" Else CName
= "Something Else"

ExcelOrIE = CName
Exit Function

MustBeExcel:
ExcelorIE = "Excel"

End Function

Hi NG!

Is there a way to test if a spreadsheet is opened in native Excel
or in Excel showing in an Internet Explorer window?
