Hi otravers
the video described another problem: when you want to do a refresh in a protected sheet in the same file. But my problem is, that i have an protected file (which i unprotect by using VBA), but then can't be reefreshed anymore, "beacause it is being used by another process"
Best regards Marie

That other file needs to be closed (i.e. not open in Excel) while PQ is querying it.
