Open Excel File from Outlook to Active Excel Instance

[TabascoJoe]

I apologize from the start if this question gets confusing...

Excel 2010 SP1 tested.

In Windows XP if you opened an Excel file from Outlook it would open in the last active Excel instance you had selected. This was if you had two or more instances of Excel running.

This has changed in Windows 7. Now if you have multiple instances of Excel running and open an Excel file from outlook it will go to the last opened instance of Excel and not the last active instance of Excel.

How can you set Windows 7 to open in the last active excel instance?

Thanks
