    Cycle Through Different Apps

    Good day everyone!

    I want make a macro that would cycle through active windows apps just like when you press Alt + Tab repeatedly. So far all I could do is cycle through different workbooks using this syntax:

    a book taught me this:

    The above code worked but it also creates an empty document by default when all I want is to simply switch between Excel and Word as if I was pressing Alt + Tab.

    To give you a clearer picture, lets say I have Excel, Word, Powerpoint and Firefox running at the same time. I want to make a macro that would cycle through all these applications as if I was pressing Alt + Tab repeatedly.

    Hope you guys can help! Thanks in advance!

    I don't have the answer to your question but think it would help to know why you would want to do that.

    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]

    You could use the tasks collection in Word's VBA library.
