Getting list of open workbooks

How do I get a list of all open Excel workbooks in WinXP?

How do I get a list of all open applications in WinXP?

I basically want to get a list of open Excel workbooks and copy this
list into a sheet for a user to choose from. I may eventually wish to
add a list of all open applications (Specifically, SPSS applications).

The following would supply you with a list of workbooks
(alter the code to write into your sheet):

Dim wrkBook As Workbook
Dim wrkBooks As Workbooks
Dim strMsg As String

For Each wrkBook In Workbooks
strMsg = strMsg & wrkBook.Name & vbCr
Next wrkBook
MsgBox strMsg

A list of Apps is do-able, but I'm sorry, I don't know
that.

Hope this helps at least 50%.
 
Lance,

Here's a sample from the Excel side:

Sub AddListOfWorkbooksToNewWorkbook()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wbOpen As Workbook
Dim nRow As Integer

Set wb = Workbooks.Add

For Each wbOpen In Excel.Workbooks
nRow = nRow + 1
wb.Worksheets(1).Cells(nRow, 1).Value = wbOpen.Name
Next

End Sub
 
The following will list all Apps/Processes currently
running. Copy all to a module and let-her-rip (note: you
may need to do some clean up due to line wrapping in this
editor):

Sub List_All_Processes_Running()

'Prepare destination
Cells.Clear
[A1].Select

'Dimension arrays
Dim aProcessName()
Dim aBelongsTo()
Dim aProcessID()

'Create object variables
Set xWMIService = GetObject("WINMGMTS:
{IMPERSONATIONLEVEL=IMPERSONATE}!\\.\ROOT\CIMV2")

'Run query against WMI
Set xProcesses = xWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM
WIN32_PROCESS")

'Initialize loop for each item in xProcesses
For Each xProcess In xProcesses

'Determine if the owner of the process can be
identified
If xProcess.GetOwner(User, Domain) = 0 Then
'Able to identify process owner
x = x + 1

aProcessID(x) = xProcess.ProcessID
End If
Next

'Write results
For x = 1 To UBound(aProcessName)
ActiveCell.Offset(x, 0).FormulaR1C1 = aProcessName(x)
ActiveCell.Offset(x, 1).FormulaR1C1 = aBelongsTo(x)
ActiveCell.Offset(x, 2).FormulaR1C1 = aProcessID(x)
ActiveCell.Offset(x, 3).FormulaR1C1 = UCase
(aProcessName(x))
Next x

'Format results
Range("A1:D1").Value = Array("PROCESS", "BELONGS
TO", "PROCESSID", "NAME")
Rows(1).Font.Bold = True
Rows(1).HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
ActiveWindow.SplitRow = 1
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
Cells.Columns.AutoFit
For Each xCol In ActiveSheet.Columns
If xCol.ColumnWidth > 50 Then xCol.ColumnWidth = 50
Next xCol

'Clear objects from memory
Set xWMIService = Nothing
Set xProcesses = Nothing

End Sub

Hi. I tried to run this code and obtained the following error message:

"Run-time error 432
File name or class name not found during Automation operation"

with the

Set xWMIService =
GetObject("WINMGMTS:{IMPERSONATIONLEVEL=IMPERSONATE}!\\.\ROOT\CIMV2")

line highlighted when I hit Debug. Do you have to check anything in Tools |
References to make certain a library available?
 
Could be, sorry about that. I will have to check my code
tomorrow and see. I will post another response to this
one tomorrow, so please check back.

In reference to my earlier post that includes code to list
the processes currently running:

You will also need to reference the "Microsoft Forms 2.0
Object Library" from the Visual Basic Editor to get that
code to work.

Just in case- to do this, open the Visual Basic Editor,
then from the main menu select [Tools] then [References]
then scroll to locate it and check it.

Hope this does the trick for you.

I tried this, but still got the same error. Wouldn't GetObject be a Windows
API call?
