Using VBA to select applications...
 

I'm trying to write a macro that activates or selects a non microsoft
application that is running but can't quite figure out how to make VBA
know which application to select.

Any ideas?

Investigate the use of the "Shell" command.

Sub Internet_Explorer()
Dim taskID As Variant
On Error Resume Next
taskID = Shell("start iexplore.exe")
If Err < 0 Then _
MsgBox "IEXPLORE.EXE is not installed on your machine."
End Sub
