Open a workbook in the background (like filestream)

Is there any way to open a workbook for editing without actually having it appear on the screen (like filestream but still with full Excel functionality)?

Thanks,
Tommy

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
set bk = Workbooks.Open("C:\ABC\myfile.xls")
bk.Windows(1).Visible = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
