If Excel isn't the active application then any keyboard activity isn't going
to register with Excel. You might be able to acheive this using some kind
of macro program (AutoIt?)

Does anyone know how to take macro and map it on the keyboard and use it
in
the other program I have it activating? So that when i'm in the other
program
i just press a key instead of toggling back over to excel.?
