Why two files are under one process in task manager. _ vb.net 2008

[Pankaj Garg]

Hi,

xlsApp1 = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

after the excution of the above code creates an instance of excel in task manager.

Dim temp As Excel.Workbook
temp = xlsApp1.Workbooks.Open(ExsTemplate & "sheet.xls")

this line is opening an excel template file. after the excution of above line i try to open any excel file by double clicking it which is lying in my hard drive. and results in opening this file - ExsTemplate & "sheet.xls" and one more thing this opened file , does not create a new instance in task manager. These are the two problems. both thses files are under one process. because when i kill this process from task manager, it closes both files. please help.

Excel is one process. That's how it works. You can't change it.
