Title: Check for open excel application Post by: . on November 21, 2008, 09:52:51 am Hi
I am opening excel using CALL UI.INTERFACE.FRONTCALL("STANDARD","EXECUTE", [lv_excel, 0],[lv_res]). I want to find out if there is function call that can check if excel is open already before I try to open it ? I am reading data from a spreedsheet and the application keeps opening another excel instance each time so I would like check if excel is running already . Thanks Bothwell Title: Re: Check for open excel application Post by: Reuben B. on November 23, 2008, 10:17:44 pm Hi I am opening excel using CALL UI.INTERFACE.FRONTCALL("STANDARD","EXECUTE", [lv_excel, 0],[lv_res]).

Thanks Bothwell Create a small script/shell etc in a language the front-end understands e.g. on Windows I'd typically use VB script, and then use FrontCall to execute that script. Google will typically return a number of potential solutions/techniques. A quick google search of 'is excel running' returned http://peltiertech.com/Excel/scripts.html which looked a promising starting point.
