Hello,

There are two problems with Excel when using it with IWebBrowser control:

1. You can't have Excel working at the same mode in embed mode (using
IWebBrowser) and normal mode (as user). This problem is applicable to
Excel 2003 but I believe it is possible to reproduce it with Excel 2007
as well.

2. You can't watch more than one Excel (and PowerPoint) file when
watching in embed mode. When application that uses IWebBrower is closed
a running excel instance is kept in memory. This problem is applicable
for Office 2007 version only.

Are there any solutions or workarounds to these problems?

It is possible to reproduce first problem by using FireFox with IETab
add-on. I believe second problem might be reproduced as well.

Best regards,
