Hi folks,

I'm writing a little app in VB and it is based on a massively
complicated excel spreadsheet that I read and write to regularly. I
therefore keep the Excel.Application object open hidden in the
background.

My question is this. Is there a way of protecting the application
instance, so that when a user randomly opens any other excel
spreadsheet when the program is running, the spreadsheet they have
chosen to open does not use the invisible instance of excel in use by
my program?

The reason I ask is because by using this instance they make it
visible, and can also close it......which results in my program dieing.


Is there any way of doing this. Does anyone understand what I'm on
about?

Cheers,

Wij.
