So just wait for 3 seconds and set the application.visible to false.  Just be careful.  Making Excel not visible does not mean that Excel is closed.  Check the processes tab in Task Manager and you'll see an Excel instance for each time you run your code, unless you are actually calling Application.Quit each time.

Sorry, you said you want to minimize Excel, not hide it.  Use the property Application.WindowState.
