Hi All,
is it possible to have 2 excels working at the same time (same versions)?
i need to run reports first thing in the morning via macros, which takes about 5min to run. while the macro is running, i cant do anything with excel. is there a way that i can run my macro although still use excel to do other excel tasks?

thanks
Samuel
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
• Open the first instance of Excel
• While Holding down [ALT]
- Right-Click the Excel icon
- Select Excel
- A prompt will display asking if you want
to open a new instance

Does that help?
