Glad to help.

>Awesome! It appears that someone would have to get up really early and spend a lot of time to get any question by you Sergey. You are an amazing individual, so glad you are out there to answer these type of questions. This is exactly what I need to send a message to the user if Excel is already open. The process I wrote is so intensive my instructions state to be sure that all other apps are down first, but you know there will be exceptions and that is why I needed this code upfront. Thanks again!
