I have a macro in which I need to open a specific Excel file.
Unfortunately with the code below although I can open the file, whether
it is visible and can be accessed depends on how many other Excel files
are open. How can I determine how many excel files are already open

Set xlAppEval = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")

Set Model = GetObject("c:\EVAL.xls")

xlAppEval.Application.Visible = True
xlAppEval.Parent.Windows(3).Visible = True <== only works if 2 excel
files are already open.


Alternatively, is there a better way to open the specified as an OLE
object?

TIA,
Garry
