Automate start VB in another instance of excel and continue _without_waiting for code to finish
Hi all,
Can anyone help me out with my last step in getting multiprocessing automated? I want to open several instances of excel and have each instance run VB for about 2 hours. I guess I'm halfway: The code below starts a new instance of excel, opens the specified file, and starts the VB. The problem is that it will now wait till the VB code is finished, whereas I'd like it to continue starting up the other instances.. Can anyone help me out on this one? Regards, Poniente Sub XlNewInstanceWithAddins(Optional PathFile As String, Optional StartSub As String) Dim xl As Object Dim ai As Object Dim PersPath As String PersPath = Workbooks("Personal.xls").Path Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application") On Error Resume Next For Each ai In Application.AddIns If ai.Installed Then xl.Workbooks.Open(ai.FullName).RunAutoMacros 1 End If Next xl.Workbooks.Open PersPath & "\Personal.xls" xl.Visible = True If PathFile < "" Then xl.Workbooks.Open PathFile If StartSub < "" Then xl.Run StartSub End If End If Set xl = Nothing End Sub |
