Disregard the sample code (too many errors). See these articles.

workbooks.visible = True

However, when you open the workbook with automation, it is the
application
which is hidden.

xlApp.visible = True
xlapp.Workbooks(1).Visible = True ' just to be sure

now save the worbkook.

Thanks tom,
Yes it is the workbook which is hidden,
but I cannot find any workbook property to unhide it.

see code below

Is it the sheet or the workbook that is hidden?

if the sheet, make sure you make the sheet visible before you save
the
workbook. (in your code)

If it is the workbook, make sure you make the workbook visible
before
you
save it. (in your code)

Hi all,
Im using some code from another application (access) to populate a
range
with data, and save the sheet. However when I save it and open it,
the
sheet
i've worked on is Hidden. I can unhide this manually, and all else
is
in
order.

I used the sheet.visible property before saving but this does not
work.

Any advice welcome.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Command2_Click()

Dim myWb As Workbook
Dim mySh As Worksheet
Dim i As Integer

Set myWb = GetObject("My file........")
Set mySh = myWb.Worksheets("ResCare")

For i = 1 To 10
mySh.Range("A" & i).Value = i * 10
Next i

myWb.Worksheets(1).Visible = xlSheetVisible
myWb.Save

Set mySh = Nothing
Set myWb = Nothing

End Sub
