Well, in order for us to help you we'll need more info.

What is FORMS?

FORMS is an Excel VBA written application that prints scanned barcodes
on a DYMO450 label printer.
This application uses Userforms, so there's no code in the worksheets
of this application (workbook)

How did you make your bar code printing app?
Using VBA, Userforms + Module code

What is this FORM app that your 1st instance of Excel runs?
See above

How do you create the 1st instance of Excel?
Double click on the Excel shortcut icon.

Why is the 1st instance hidden?
Because it's neater on the screen than seing the non used Excel
worksheet.

How do you start a 2nd instance of Excel?
Double click on the Excel shortcut icon after the start of the barcode
print application (FORM)

If you want me to send you the whole code for the barcode scan
printer, send me your mail address.
I check in this code also if the labelprinter is connected to the pc
or not.
If not, there appears an error message and after click on the close
button the application is closed.

Ludo
