I have two spreadsheets in an Excel workbook. When switching from one active to the other active, I get a vb error 91. Anyone know why?

    Can you share more details of your flow and the error? Share a screenshot of your flow or where it fails.

    Are you using PADs Excel actions like Set Active Excel worksheet or are you using VBScript? If you are using VBScript share the script also.

    If in the "Start Excel" activity I mark the "Make instance visible" parameter then error 91 no longer appears and it works perfectly.
