Suggestion: Don't. If you really need this level of control of the workstation, you are going about things wrongly. This is a recipe for fragility and horrific usability problems. There are two simple solutions: 1) Make it really obvious that you're controlling the computer, by putting something big across the screen - a splash screen, of sorts - which is set to Always On Top and gives a message. And then just trust that the user won't do anything, because you've done everything reasonable. No further control needed. 2) Automate your code by moving stuff around on the disk, *not* by actually working through Excel. Twenty minutes of Excel automation should probably become a proper application that reads in some data and generates some graphs. And it'd probably be faster, too (even if Excel's performance is stellar, which I very much doubt, it's always slower to work through a GUI than to do the work directly). Figure out what you're really trying to do, and do that directly. Also, please follow Mark's advice. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
