The following example checks whether Excel is already running. If Excel has not been started, the example starts Excel and loads an Excel file:
Dim MyObj On Error Resume Next Set MyObj = GetObject(,"Excel.Application") If Err.Number = 0 Then Call MsgBox("Excel is running") Else Err.Clear() Call MsgBox("Excel is not running. Excel will be started.") Set MyObj = GetObject("","Excel.Application") End If On Error Goto 0 MyObj.Visible = True Call MyObj.Workbooks.Open(ProgramDrv & "Examples\Data\DIADEM.XLS")
