I thought that was the point.

Unfortunately this also causes excel to ignore ShellOpen requests when you
double-click on an excel file.

In the instance of excel controlled by VB6, do
oExcel.IgnoreRemoteRequests = True
This should cause user initiated workbooks to open in a separate
instance.

I currently load an excel file using VB6 as below:
Set oExcel = CreateObject("excel.application")
Set oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(sMyFile)
Set oSheet = oBook.Sheets(1)
oSheet.cells(1,1)=...
I then proceed to manipulate the worksheet for a while.
The Excel file doesn't show in Windows while it is doing its
processing
but obviously the process shows in the task manager under processes.
If I know open another Excel file from Windows for general use
(nothing
connected to my VB6 application), The file above becomes visible and
it
is possible to edit the file. What is more if you then close the file
above the VB6 loses the link to the file.
Is it possible to open up my VB6 Excel file in a separate process so
that if the user then wants to open another Excel file meanwhile the
VB6 Excel file will not become visible?
Any help really appreciated
