I am able to change the caption of my Excel app but the caption doesn't appear in the taskbar when the app is minimized, thereby making hard to find if multiple programs are open. Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Steve

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
I have changed the caption to something custom like "My Workbook"; however, the taskbar only shows the excel logo with no caption.

Sorry, I can't reproduce that behaviour (Excel 2003). I used:

Code:
Application.Caption = "My Workbook"

As noted I am using 2007 and I am also using the exact code that you just submitted. The caption is not showing up in my taskbar. Thanks for you help.
