So you want to just activate the workbook (or window) that was active before
your code started?

Dim ActWkbk as workbook
set actwkbk = nothing
on error resume next
set actwkbk = activeworkbook
on error goto 0

'your code here

if actwkbk is nothing then
'nothing was active when you started
else
actwkbk.activate
end if

That can be the problem.
If the workbook is already opened before my app starts I will not know its
name.
Thanks,

If you know the name of the workbook being opened:
Workbooks("book999.xls").activate
