How can I find out Excel is still running

[SergeN]

The problem is:
I send data to Excel using TexcelApplication. After that I (or user) may leave application and Excel and do some other work. After some time user return to my application and try to send to the same Excel report new data.
How can I find out Excel is still running and my report is still opened in it?
TexcelApplication1.ConnectKind := ckNewInstance

You can check to see if it's running like this. I don't know how to check for your document.

uses windows;
ExcelWnd:THandle;

ExcelWnd := FindWindow('XLMain', nil);
if ExcelWnd <> 0 then
// Excel is running
