How to detect if a workbook is hidden through VBA
Hello all:
I recently created code that lists all open files in Excel (.xls or otherwise) and then moves the ActiveSheet for each open file to after the active sheet in the active workbook. In addition, all of my code is kept in a separate workbook which is hidden and loads on startup of Excel (so I can access the code on any other open workbook). The move process works great unless a hidden workbook is loaded in Excel (i.e. my code workbook). When the code encounters the hidden workbook it halts after attempting the move and my code workbook is closed automatically. I need to identify which open workbooks are hidden so I can skip them in the move. Lots of help exists regarding hidden worksheets but not workbooks and the VBA object browser does list a hidden property of a workbook. Any suggestions? Thanks, Aaron |

Thanks Bob! I had tried testing "workbooks.visible" (which of course doesn't
exist) and testing the window did. Thanks again, Aaron "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ...
