Our application uses Excel as a server via the Excel COM interface
(automation). However, I'm finding that when the user opens other Excel
documents, these documents all share the same Excel window. If the user then
hits X to exit their document (this is the normal user approach) this shuts
down Excel altogether and my server is gone!

Also, our application streamlines the Excel window by removing all toolbars.
I'm finding that now when the user opens their own documents, their favorite
toolbars are gone. Again, it's the same basic issue. How do I isolate our
own Excel server from other instances of Excel in the user's environment?

Thanks for your help!

P.S. How come there's no excel.vba group like there is for Word?
