Hi


Just curious if anybody knows why this happens.


I have python code that triggers and runs a macro in a workbook. The macro can take several hours to run. If I run the macro without the use of Python, my workbook is open and for the time it takes the macro to run I am unable to use excel until the macro is completed.


What I noticed when I run the macro via Python, the sheet doesn't open and not only that but I am able at the same time python runs the excel macro I can actually open up other workbooks.


How does this happen? and where is the python triggered workbook macro run? It doesn't even pop up in the Task Manager?


If anybody knows how this happens I would love to know!


Regards,
MM
