Question

I have a VBA macro which does the following:

1. Creates a report, saves it to main directory. Closes the report
2. Creates various emails, attaches the report to each (doesn’t send the email)
3. Msgbox shows up showing that process is finished

The thing is that, once the whole process is finished, I want the user to know it is done, but this code doesn’t return the focus to excel (which I hoped would be the problem)

Windows(the_current_window).Activate
Worksheets(currentQuoteSheet).Select

The last email created is what stays on screen. The msgbox doesn’t come up, only if I click on excel icon on the menu bar it does. So users are there just waiting to finish (when it has, in fact 🙁 )

Any ideas how to make sure the msgbox shows up after last email is created without users having to click on excel?

Try

sub doSomething()
   'do something
   AppActivate "Microsoft Excel"
End Sub
