How would I modify a routine to have the XLS file display in the foreground when currently the XLS file shows up on the task bar and is minimized ?

Zones: Microsoft ADP, Microsoft Access Database, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

I am developing an Access application using Access as the front end and SQL Server as the back end databse. I am using a combination of Access and Excel VBA.

In the attached code snippet, I generate an Excel file named ACSWMVF_05062008.XLS but the Excel file shows up on the task bar (minimized) and I would like for it to show up in the foreground.
