Hi,

I'm trying to run two separate instances of Excel, and within each of them I am trying to run a macro. I know that to run separate instances you type "excel.exe /x" into the run dialog box, and that's no problem: they both open and I can operate them separately.

The problem is this: when I run a macro in only one of the two instances it runs fine and does what it should do, and I can see the CPU usage for the CPU I assigned to this instance is being used. However, when I try and run another macro concurrently in the second instance (on a separate CPU), both instances become non respondent and I see that the CPU usage assigned to each of them drops to zero.

Could anyone give me an idea of why this might be?

Thanks, much appreciated!

Mike
