Default Open file and keep it hidden

I am pretty sure I posted yesterday regarding this...

when automating Excel, I use GetObject (GetActiveOleObject in Delphi)
and use Excel if already open.
Then I open a file, change (replace) something in it, and save it
again.

Can I do this hidden?
I mean, so my file does not appear in the task bar?
I can hide the window, but --- when I open the file it will flash for
a short second.

Any ideas?

Use Create object then use the object to open the workbook. something
like this



Set Newobj = CreateObject("Excel.Application)
Newobj.visible = False
Newobj = workbooks.open(filename:="book1.xls")
