It looks like the image is being blocked.

Basically you open a windows "command" window then start Excel from the
command window.

Hi Dennis,
I can't see the image. Which program are you using for the newsgroup? I
use
the website "http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/ ..." but I
would like to use a better program.
Thank you!

I have seen multiple instances of Excel running at the same time on one
machine. Here the normal instance was started by either double clicking
the
file or the Excel icon. The next instance was started from a command
window.

See attached image. I was able to run multiple instances of Excel 2007.

However, if you setup a default Toolbar/CommandBar it will startup with
each
instance.

You could use the Workbook_Open macro to prompt you for a selection of
which
Toolbar/CommandBar to use.

Alex,

Excel is an application. Normally Excel runs with only a single
instance
of itself.

You can do OLE linking with programs like MS Word. This sort of runs
Excel inside Word.

I have seen multiple instances of Excel running at the same time on one
machine. Here the normal instance was started by either double
clicking
the file or the Excel icon. The next instance was started from a
command
window.

So I'm not to sure what you mean by opening a workbook in a new
application.

Hi,
I'm wondering if there a way to open a workbook into a new application
by
default. So, when you double-click the excel workbook, it will start
in a
new
Excel application. I think about something in the Open event but I
don't
know
how to cancel the process and restart it into an other application.
Thank you!
Alex
