Thread: new instance Excel application

is there a way to set the Excel application such that each time when user double click to open an Excel file, a new instance of an Excel application will be openned just for that Excel file only?

or maybe some macros to set so that this particular Excel file will not share the same Excel application with other Excel files?

Thank you.

Hi,
try Tools, Options, General, and tick Ignore Other Applications, but remember this does create other problems especially in the area of Copy-Paste between the two Excel workbooks.

yes, as I said, there are drawbacks to using this.
