patgenn123 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi everyone! I am interested in finding the link in these forums(I couldn't find it) that could help me with this scenario. 1) I am trying to open an Excel file in a "hidden" status RIGHT AFTER a different program executes/opens. I only need that Excel file to open "once". Then, I need to have that Excel file "close" when the program closes. Again, I looked, but I couldn't find. Thanks, -P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 at the top right corner of this page, press the "search" button, click "more search options" then type in "Excel" then click "Example Scripts" in the drop-down list click the radio "search titles only" click "preform the search" This will give you a list of Excel scripts/UDF's 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgenn123 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thank you, but I looked there and if my initial look was correct, I didn't see anything that was similar to what I was looking for. I have a similar macro program that will make the file "hide", but it will "flash" the excel file while it's trying to hide it. i need the Excel file to be completely hidden and open/close only when the "parent" program is operating. Thanks, but I looked there. -P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgenn123 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 I re-read the posts in the Excel forum, I will give it a shot and see if I could do this. Not having a computer background in the technical language sometimes makes it hard to understand. I hope it doesn't take a day to figure out what might be so simple. Thanks Valuater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I get stuck, I would assume that no question is too dumb? -P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
