Default How to open a workbook into a new Excel application

The reason why I want to start a workbook into a new Excel.Application is
that each workbook have their own menu (command bar control in addition to
Excel menu ..File, Edit, Tools, ...) So, if I switch from one workbook to
another, I have to delete the menu and create the menu into the workbook #2.
It can be the same menu or not.

I would have to have a menu bar that is unique for each workbook. Is there a
way to do that?
Thank you!

Alex,

Excel is an application. Normally Excel runs with only a single instance of
itself.

You can do OLE linking with programs like MS Word. This sort of runs Excel
inside Word.

I have seen multiple instances of Excel running at the same time on one
machine. Here the normal instance was started by either double clicking the
file or the Excel icon. The next instance was started from a command
window.

So I'm not to sure what you mean by opening a workbook in a new application.

Hi,
I'm wondering if there a way to open a workbook into a new application by
default. So, when you double-click the excel workbook, it will start in a
new
Excel application. I think about something in the Open event but I don't
know
how to cancel the process and restart it into an other application.
Thank you!
