I have a VB program which manipulates a workbook via excel object created.
Then if I open another spreadsheet by double-clicking, I see the spreadsheet
being manipulated is in the Window list as well as the one I just opened.

Is there a way that double-clicking will bring up a new instance of Excel so
that the spreadsheets being manipulated via VB won't be seen? Perhaps in the
VB program itself there might be an option to set so that windows thinks
Excel hasn't started yet and so creates a new instance to open it.

Thanks,

Ken Shaffer
