Default How to reference to other Excel application in VBA

Unfurtunately it gets only the application from which it is executed.
Is there something like "GetNext"?

Thanks

Assuming you don't have multiple instances of Excel open except the one you
are trying to get and the instance in the web page. I would assume the
instance in the web page would not be detected by GetObject, but I haven't
test it.

Yes, but I failed. I have no idea what arguments should I use

GetObject([pathname] [, class])

A new workbook is not saved at the stage I would like to access it, and file
name is random (but hopefully with the same prefix).

Thanks,

Lukasz

Hi,

I would like to copy some data to my spreadsheet from workbook which is
opened from web. The problem is that "Export to Excel" button always opens
new Excel application, so I can't reference to new workbook from VBA.

How can I check other running applications and how to copy data from other
Excel application to my workbook?

Thanks in advance,
