Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): Origin Pro 2017
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional

Hi guys! I am using COM and have written a code in Matlab that opens up an instance of Origin and imports my data into a worksheet and then plots it.

My problem is the following: I have a lot of data, separated into separate folders. I want to be able to loop through all of my folders and import the data in each folder into a SEPARATE Origin project. Here are my questions:

1. Is it possible to use COM to open and control 2 (or many more) separate instances of Origin at one time? (Not projects, since I know Origin can only support one project at once, but just separate Origin applications/windows)
2. If not, is it possible to open, edit and close an Origin object/application and then re-open a new one?

Thanks for the help!

Matt

I know this is years later but how can I do this?

I want to open multiple instances but cannot work out which line of code does this.

You can create multiple instances of Application.
