Thanks for the idea Sergey,

I tought of that one but then, several instances of excel might be running... thru the WindowHandle I would be sure to have a reference to the right Excel Instance. I can check WITH oXL.caption to make sure if I'm dealing with the right one but if that isn't the correct instance Is there a way I could reference other instances with GETOBJECT or will it always default to the first Excel that got open?

Please keep the ideas coming.

Have a good one,

Yanick
