I've tried using AppActivate but it's not reliably activating the
applications. Is there something I need to do so that it finds the app each
and every time. FWIW, I'm moving back and forth between PPTApp and XLApp.

In addition, I'd like to display a MsgBox in PowerPoint when I'm running the
code from Excel. How do I do that? MsgBox, puts the MSGBOX over the Excel
application.

Thanks,
