To elaborate: if there are 1 instances of Excel open then getobject
returns a reference to a random instance. If your expected
spreadsheet isn't open in that instance then your code may fail.

Anyone else to pitch on that subject?
Anybody had that problem before?
I cannot believe it.
In the last 5 years, I encountered at least about 50 computers where Excel
automation did not work!

Hello,
* * * * * * I have developed the stand alone application which interacts
with Excel spreadsheet.
It works fine on most Windows and computers, but from time to time I have
message from the user that my app cannot 'find' any opened spreadsheets,
but they are opened.
I wonder, what can cause that? What should I advise user to do?
Reinstalling Excel does not help.
I am using vbasic and Excel automation.
Your comments appreciated,
