Mutiple Instances of Excel - Which one will Windows use to open a file?
Hi All, If I have multiple instances of excel open, is there any way to dictate which one will be used by Windows to open an excel workbook if the user double clicks on it in windows explorer? One of the instances will always have a modal userform open, so I need to avoid that instance being used. Thanks, Alan. |

One of the instances will always have a modal userform open, so I need to avoid that instance being used. Application.IgnoreRemoteRequests = True will prevent further files being opened in that instance. Regards, Vic Eldridge |
