Correct. You may have to send a windows message to the Excel window and then
GetObject will work.

This is in the msdn as well.

In my experience GetObject won't work if the Excel window has not been

be the case if Excel was started like:
Set xlapp = New Excel.Application

since the window is hidden by default?

Ignore the highlighting in this email!!
