The process ID changes every time Condor starts a new job. But that shouldn't matter. Condor will put both the Excel file and the executable in the same temporary directory for you on the remote machine. So you only need to say:

        myfile.open(.\EXCEL.xls)

in your C++ file. "." is short-hand for "current working directory".

See above. :)
