In my work all coding can be done in VBA only, hence, all of our tools (dbase queries, data processing, cash overviews, etc) are written as XLSM files.
At the moment, I have approximately 20 different tools and once I open up some of them, it takes some time to search for the specific tool in the taskbar as they all show up as (stacked) Excel icons. So my goal is to be able to assign different icons to different XLSM tools so that they appear as separate/different icons in the taskbar.
Is this possible? I'm on Windows 7 x64 with Office 2010.
EDIT:
I have theoretically figured a way: Make a copy of Excel.exe
to, say Excel_.exe
, change the icon of this Excel_.exe, thenlaunch one tool in this copy of the Excel binary. The first problem with this approach is that upon trying to launch Excel_.exe I get an error about a missing DLL file (MSVCR90.dll), which naturally does not occur with the original Excel.exe - does anybody have a clue why this happens?
