Tried your suggestion and I can't make it work. I placed the variable at the
beginning of the code for that command button that starts this part of my
routine and then added the dim Oldbook as string at the beginning of the code
that minimizes the other workbook. Any other ideas? I'll keep at it....just
in case I need to add the variable someplace else.

That sounds interesting. I'll give it a try and let you know. Thanks.

SLP,

Okaydo you have code that minimizes the workbooks? If so you can set a
variable to keep the workbook name.
dim Oldbook as string
Oldbook=activeworkbook.name

Thanks for the response. I thought about that but the problem is the
workbook used by many people who will save it with a different name. (Its a
budget tool.) Would a wildcard work for a file name? I could probably tell
everyone just to enter their initials or something after the workbook name.

SLP,

Try
Windows("your workbook name").activate
sheets("Sheet2").select

Hi. Not sure if this can be done. At one point in my routing, I have three
workbooks that are minimized. I need to maximize one of the three and have
to open on sheet two. Anyone have any ideas on how to code this? Thanks in
advance.
