How can I prevent Excel creating new instances of Excel, for differetn
workbooks.
I want having one workbook with some code opened, and all new workbooks thay
me or other application opens will be in the same instance of Excel where I
have the code.

If you're opening the files by double clicking them in Windows Explorer, then
this might help:

Try Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

But a lot will depend on how the other programs actually open the workbook.
