Run Macro in another workbook already OPENED in another instance of Excel
Hello,
I know how to open another workbook in another instance of Excel and run a macro: e.g. Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Set wbChart = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\chart.xls") xlApp.Run "chart.xls!mcrUpdateES", dteClose_15, dblHI_15, dblLO_15, dblLast But how do I do this if the workbook is ALREADY OPENED in another instance of Excel? I think the problem centers on how to identify the seperate instance of Excel that is already running. i.e. it's easy to know that "xlApp" refers to the seperate instance if I'm creating that instance at run-time, but how to refer to the seperate instance if it was created before run-time. Any help greatly appreciated. Ben. |
