You can always AppActivate the Title of the window. So how about very early
in your code (when Excel is the only app):

Dim w As Window
Set w = ActiveWindow

and then when you want to have Excel re-gain focus:

AppActivate w.Caption

Give it a try

I am running the following sub and using AppActivate at the end to reset the
focus to Excel.

This seemed to be working, but not presently. can you help with the syntax
on this. I have tried:

AppActivate "Microsoft Excel"
AppActivate ("Dashboard.xlsm - Microsoft Excel")
AppActivate ("Dashboard.xlsm")

If there is another approach that is reliable, please let me know.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
