Hi Tom,

The only way you can automate an instance of Excel that has been started
manually, is to use GetObject() function. Unfortunately, if there are two
instances of Excel that were both started manually, GetObject() can connect
to only one of them, not both, and there is no way to control which instance
it
will connect to.

I suggest you try to start both instances programmatically, using either early
or late binding. Only then can you connect to two separate instances of Excel.


Regards,
Vic Eldridge
