Default How to reference a file in a different instance of Excel?

I’m trying to save a file to SharePoint. This code works fine when
there are two Workbooks in the same instance of Excel:

SaveFile = Left(imgElement.Title, 27)

MsgBox "Saving changes to " & SaveFile & " and checking this file into
SharePoint now!!", vbSystemModal

Set WB = Workbooks(SaveFile)

WB.Activate

WB.CheckIn SaveChanges:=True, Comments:=""

WB.Close



When I have two instances of Excel, how can I reference the OTHER
Workbook in the OTHER instance of Excel?



I’m trying something like this:

SaveFile = Left(imgElement.Title, 27)

MsgBox "Saving changes to " & SaveFile & " and checking this file into
SharePoint now!!", vbSystemModal

Dim savepath As String

savepath = strPath & "/" & SaveFile

Dim GetActiveWB As String

GetActiveWB = ActiveWorkbook.path & "/" & SaveFile

Set wb = Workbooks(GetActiveWB)

wb.Activate

wb.CheckIn SaveChanges:=True, Comments:=""

wb.Close



Now, I’m getting a ‘subscript out of range’ message right he

Set wb = Workbooks(GetActiveWB)



How can I reference this Workbook (variable is ‘SaveFile’) and save it
to SharePoint, from a different INSTANCE of Excel?



Thanks!!
