Re: Multiple Instances of Excel

No, you'd have to set them (or one of them) and keep them open all day.
BTW it still doesn't solve all issues; some settings are at Windows level,
like date formats (US vs. European) and list separators.

Would these different settings be persistent from one startup of the
program to another? If so, how would a user designate which "profile" to
start, since all icons point to the same .EXE file?

One reason could be if you need Excel-wide settings to be different, like
Reference style and Calculation mode

I don't like to do this either. I find it a pain.

So I asked someone who asked how to do this and their reply was so that
they
could work in one instance while excel did stuff (long calculations/long
running
macro) in the other.

If you do all your work in one instance of excel, then the copy and
paste
will
work the way you want.

Why would anyone WANT to run two instances? Is there any advantage at
all? I
see it done by mistake quite often.....
