Excel 2013 Add-in only works on First workbook, (When Excel work on same Instance)

I have a custom excel add-in.

It was perfectly work in office 2010 and olders. But after office 2013 upgrade, Add-in only works first excel. Even i clicked from other workbooks, add-in shows up itself in first work book.

any idea people?

Solution

  • I solved the problem, thanks for the @Doug.

    If excels work on seperate instances, it works. For seperate instance, create a bat file like name excel.bat and

    write --> start "Excel" "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\EXCEL.EXE" /e %1 in it.

    when you drag and drop your excel in that bat file, excel works from different instance.
