I am trying to use the sendkeys method as described in an earlier suggestion. I can not get it to toggle between two open windows (Alt-Tab)

SendKeys ("%{TAB}")

This doesn't seem to be working (yet works when I do this manually).....Any Ideas?

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Would it be better (or possible) to use "AppActivate" instead of ALT+TAB?

For example, open up Notepad and then in a standard module put in this code:

<pre>
Public Sub Main()
AppActivate "Untitled - Notepad"
End Sub
</pre>

This will activate the window with the caption "Untitled - Notepad".
