Hi All,

There are 2 code routines pasted below and both work fine individually.



However if l call the 2nd routine from the 1st Excel seems to 'lose
focus' ie the active workbook name is greyed out and flashing. If l
activate Excel by placing and clicking the cursor anywhere in the Excel

environment the code continues without a problem.


I have tried combining the code but the same problem manifests itself.


This is my 1st foray into extracting data from Outlook and l am
wondering if it has something to do with security but that would not
explain why the code continues immediately on return to the Excel
environment. Alternatively i think l might need to 'grab' the Excel
application and activate it.


Please can somebody help me overcome this infuriating problem?

Michael,

You might want to try changing "Application" to XLApp by doing the following:

Dim XLApp as Excel.Application
Dim MyWorkbook as Excel.workbook
Dim Removed as Excel.worksheet


Sub ListUnsubscribed()
'Variables for the Outlook Object Library
Dim myOlApp As Outlook.Application
Dim mpfInbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim obj As Outlook.MailItem
'Other variables
Dim i As Integer
Dim r As Long
Dim r1 As Long
'Define the variables
Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

Set XLApp = GetObject(,"Excel.Application")
Set MyWorkbook = XLapp.Workbooks("MyWorkBookName")
Set Removed = MyWorkBook.Sheets("Removed")
