I need the Workbook_BeforeClose event because it is used to save the
workbook before closing it.

But even without it, the Activate event is not called.
Somehow the workbook main remains the active one, not the newly one
using the class to create it.
Nonethless the event doesnt really matter, the problem is that
envelopeinvisible=false does not work properly.

Did you try using it when the close event is called to close excel to
see if it disposes the screen properly?
