Following up to a previous question I had, when I wshell.run "c:\test.xls" I create an instance of Excel that is not visible...in VBA I would add an oExcel.Visible=True. How do I do this in vbscript??

Thanks,
Alex
 
you would need to bind to the instance of Excel that is running and use the same .Visible property
 
If you need more control or just to open up an xls file in the interface for users to interact with it, you can always do it simply like this.
[tt]
[green]xlfile="d:\test\xyz.xls"[/green]
set oxl=createobject("excel.application")
oxl.visible=true
oxl.workbooks.open xlfile
set oxl=nothing
[/tt]
