Using *obj/excel with an existing Excel Instance

[Josh Fake]

Is it possible to open an existing opened excel instance similar to....
def object excel,"[Running]"+%wdx$+"Excel.Application"
.... with the *obj/excel object.

Reason being is I have a panel that can have a spreadsheet dragged and dropped into a window but the end-user would also like it to be even more "user friendly". This being where in my window and at a certain event that if the system can see if the spreadsheet is open, the interface automatically uses the current spreadsheets active worksheet and its values if in the correct format.  I would rather utilize the existing code written with *obj/excel rather than just the direct interfaces to the standard Excel.Applications' properties, methods, and events.

thanks for your help!

Hi Josh,

Thanks for your question.  Unfortunately the *obj/excel.pvc object does not yet have this functionality.  We will look into adding this for an upcoming release.
