I would just start a new instance of Excel and then do file=Open and open
the file I want.

Do you activate any windows or workbooks or worksheets in your macro?

Hmmm no... what do you mean with "activate"? I only do stuff like what
you did in the example below.

Sub Runme()
Dim i As Long
Do
For i = 1 To 1000
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("A5") = Rnd()
DoEvents
Next
For i = 1 To 10000
DoEvents
Next i
Loop While True
End Sub

Unfortunately my Macro cannot always be in the doevents loop. :(
Is there a way to open every XLS file with its own Excel instead than
with one Excel as it is doing by default?

Thanx,
Luca
