Is there a way to open a workbook in the background and have it not be
visible?

Hi Jesse,

Here's the general idea of how to do this. Be sure to change the
workbook path and name to fit your circumstances.

Sub OpenWorkbookHidden()
Dim wkbBook As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wkbBook = Workbooks.Open("E:\Book1.xls")
wkbBook.Windows(1).Visible = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
