This code does not seem to work for me.

Sub NewExcelWindow()
Set objexcel = New Excel.Application
objexcel.Visible = True
End Sub

A) As soon as the sub ends, the new excel intance closes also.
B) It does not open a workbook inside the new excel intance.

Just like Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp xlMicrosoftWord but for a new
EXCEL intance. I'd like to open a new workbook on a new intance of EXCEL.

PS Why doesn't Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp xlMicrosoftEXCEL work??? It
works for Access, word etc...

Regards,

Michel

Have you dimmed "objexcel" as a module level variable? If not it's local
and goes out of existence when the sub ends.

Set objexcel = New Excel.Application
objexcel.Workbooks.Open "C:\MyFile.xls"
