Default Automate start VB in another instance of excel and continue _without_waiting for code to finish

Hi all,

Can anyone help me out with my last step in getting multiprocessing
automated?
I want to open several instances of excel and have each instance run
VB for about 2 hours. I guess I'm halfway:

The code below starts a new instance of excel, opens the specified
file, and starts the VB.
The problem is that it will now wait till the VB code is finished,
whereas I'd like it to continue starting up the other instances..

Can anyone help me out on this one?

Regards,
Poniente



Sub XlNewInstanceWithAddins(Optional PathFile As String, Optional
StartSub As String)
Dim xl As Object
Dim ai As Object

Dim PersPath As String

PersPath = Workbooks("Personal.xls").Path


Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

On Error Resume Next

For Each ai In Application.AddIns
If ai.Installed Then
xl.Workbooks.Open(ai.FullName).RunAutoMacros 1
End If
Next

xl.Workbooks.Open PersPath & "\Personal.xls"
xl.Visible = True

If PathFile < "" Then
xl.Workbooks.Open PathFile
If StartSub < "" Then
xl.Run StartSub
End If
End If

Set xl = Nothing

End Sub
