Hi,

I have an excel that needs to be open with admin rights and it has link to a desktop application.
It update data (dynamic price of stock)in the excel every 5 sec. I have to keep the excel open and pull data outof it.

You can use the Send Hot keys activity - Ctrl + ‘S’ to save the file.
Make sure the focus is on Excel Window.

Nope… that will not work as the excel application scope will open the excel in read-only mode

By default the file will be opened in write-mode.
In the excel application scope, in the properties panel, disable Read-only if enabled.

You can even enable Auto-Save option in the Excel Application Scope to avoid explicitly saving the file.

Before opening the file, can you try removing the read-only option. Right-Click on file → Properties-> Remove Read-Only.
