Bringing Excel to the front
Does VBA have a method for bringing the application window to the front? I
can do it with the Windows API but I'm hoping for a simpler solution, like an "Activate" or "SetFocus". TIA -- Scott Holmes |

There's an ActivateMicrosoftApp method. Maybe this will do what you want.

Bringing Excel to the front
This caused the excel icon on the taskbar to flash:
Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 5) AppActivate Application.Caption (the .wait gave me time to activate a different program.)

Bringing Excel to the front
For what it's worth, I solved the problem by minimizing the application that
was in front of Excel and that worked for this application. Thanks for the input! -- Scott Holmes "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
