Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I got the same error.

Sorry, I should have explained more in my original post. I have two monitors
connected to my PC. I want a different instance of Excel to kick off so that
I can place one excel window on the left monitor and another excel window on
the right monitor. That would make comparison a lot easier. The method is
given in this link: http://www.pptalchemy.co.uk/mmmagic.html

But when I try it, I get the access denied error.

So why not put a Excel shortcut in the Quick Launch bar and click that
twice? Two instances will kick off.
