      Hi,

       

      I have red the provided article and came to know that getobject function does not bind to the existing excel application.

       

      I don't know the exact internals of how COM works but Getobject can get the existing excel reference.

       

      Following steps works in VB script.

      Set Obj=CreateObject("Excel.Application") will give  new excel instance.

      Set Obj=GetObject(,"Excel.Application") will give existing excel instance.I.e Open excel application and run this statement.This statement binds to the opened excel application.
