Antoun,

Just to clarify - are you talking about a single instance of Excel, or multiple instances? Your use of alt+Tab suggests multiple
instances.

The behavior Dave described for Excel 2003 is the same in 2000. Within a

I can guarantee you it doesn't fire when using Alt+Tab (at least with XL
2000 / Win 2000). It works normally when using Ctrl+F6, the task bar,
the Window menu, etc.
