Is there a way to switch to a specific excel window via macro?
I know
Code:
  On Error GoTo ChangeWinErr
    Set nw = ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
    If Windows.Count > 1 Then
       nw.Activate
       Exit Sub
    End If
to cycle through excel windows, but is there something like .AppActivate in Excel VBA?

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Figured it out! It's actually pretty easy. To switch to a specific window (assuming this is an already opened window with a file name) it's just:
Code:
Windows("filename.xlsm").Activate

Code:
    Windows(2).Activate

or

Code:
    Workbooks("Bob.xlsx").Activate
