Hello Mike,

It is a good practice to preface Window operations with the application to which they belong. Functions like ActiveWindow are envrironmentally dependent. If you were troubleshooting your code in the VBA Editor, ActiveWindow would assume you are referring to the active window in the VBA Editor and not Excel. To prevent these problems qualify your object methods like this...

Excel.ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Count

Sincerely,

I stepped through this code in the VBE in book2.xls with book1.xls active in
excel:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()
Debug.Print ActiveWindow.Caption
End Sub

I saw this in the immediate window:
book1.xls
