Is Active Workbook ="ABC"
Excel 2002, WinXP
I have a user-created menu item that is applicable to only one file. That menu item is created/deleted by code that is in that one file. However, other files may be open at the same time and I need to make sure that this one file, "ABC", is the active file before executing the menu item code. I thought that ThisWorkbook was always the active file but it isn't. ThisWorkbook is the file that holds the macro that is being executed. How do I check for the active file, as in: If (the active file).Name < "ABC" Then MsgBox "Wrong File" Thanks for your help. Otto |
