I wrote some VB code (with help) to gather information from SAP through Excel. Problem is when I run it, the SAP screen appears over the Excel screen...I would like to switch back to the excel screen. I tried just reactivating the workbook...no go though. Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
Try

'Capture Application.Caption in string variable before switch
AppActivate Application.Caption

or

AppActivate "Text Showing in Excel Tiltle Bar"

Dang, your code works...the problem is that I guess I need Excel to be forced to be the top most window until the code is finished running...

You could try "DoEvents" before and/or after AppActivate.

I suspect it will probably be more complicated than that but it's easy enough to try.

DoEvents
AppActivate ...
DoEvents
