Hi,

I would like to copy some data to my spreadsheet from workbook which is
opened from web. The problem is that "Export to Excel" button always opens
new Excel application, so I can't reference to new workbook from VBA.

How can I check other running applications and how to copy data from other
Excel application to my workbook?

Thanks in advance,

have you tried to use GetObject. See excel vba help for details.

Yes, but I failed. I have no idea what arguments should I use

GetObject([pathname] [, class])

A new workbook is not saved at the stage I would like to access it, and file
name is random (but hopefully with the same prefix).

Thanks,

Lukasz

set o = GetObject(,"Excel.Application")

Assuming you don't have multiple instances of Excel open except the one you
are trying to get and the instance in the web page. I would assume the
instance in the web page would not be detected by GetObject, but I haven't
test it.

Unfurtunately it gets only the application from which it is executed.
Is there something like "GetNext"?

Thanks

No, there really isn't any latitude or control if you don't know the document
name.

I am having the same problem. The problem is that the get object
actually access the workbook, but I can't "activate" the workbook. I
get an error 50290 when I try to do so. Also, in the watch window, the
workbook never appears under application. How do I get it to appear
under there? I mean, the work book is already open, so I can't "open
it" again. This is very frustrating.

A little background, I'm simply trying to have a buttom that says
"populate report." A new report in a NEW instance of the Excel
Application opens and the report is populated in this window. The
problem is that I can get the workbook, but I can't programmatically do
things like "activate" and that's driving me nuts... Glad to hear any
suggestions.
