If yours is older than mine it's about time you updated <g

I'm waye past overdue for getting anoter computer.

FWIW I develop in the v.old and test in a shiny new dual core Vista thing
(vb6 dll's). Although the new machine is generally faster the difference
is
nothing remotely of the order the specs would suggest. Excel startup is a
few seconds in each (1st time in a Windows session, thereafter much
faster).
Automated instances might start faster as addins don't load.

It's faster, by a bit, when I run from a .exe.

Not entirely sure it'll be in the same location in all systems, not saying
it isn't but might be worth checking.

Instead, I'll use stuff that I can get thru the Windows API.
Actually, that's better.
Instead of limiting use to a specific Excel PID, i'd limit use to a PC,
which would allow updating of Excel to a different version, etc.
