Hi,
Thanks to all. I found the suitable code in the following link. It gives
the full path names of all running excel(saved and non saved) instances.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply. How do you get arrXL ??
I know the list of process using Process library in .NET but dont know what
you are referring to arrXL in the following message. Could you eloborate bit
futher? I tried to understand the ROT code posted in google forums but failed.

It's not straightforward to find and reference multiple Excel instances.
If you understand C# (could use in your .Net) a method was described here -

In the same thread I briefly described my relatively though not 100%
reliable method to find and reference multiple Excel instances. Having done
so, for each referenced instance you could do something like this

On Error resume next
For i = 0 to UBound(arrXL) ' array of XL instances
set ws = arrXL(i).Workbooks("abc.xls")
if not ws is nothing then
sFile = ws.Fullname
Exit for

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply but the trouble is I can get the instance full
path(bbc.xls) from Process library as illustarted in the following link so
I
dont know how to instantiate this excel running instance as I dont have
full
path.

This following line works fine for unsaved excel instances

Set xlObj = VBA.GetObject("Book2").Application

but it fails to create reference whne it uses saved instance.

Set xlObj = VBA.GetObject("bbc").Application

it requires full path to access the currently running instance

Set xlObj = VBA.GetObject("c:\rama\bbc.xls").Application

Hi Experts,

c:\rama\bbc.xls) from the curently running instance "bbc.xls". I dont

desperate
to
find the full path from ruinng instance. Lets say I've opened saved
bbc.xls
file and i know the currently opened instances from Process library
and i

get the title("bbc.xls") but i dont know how to get the full
path("c:\rama\bbc.xls")
