Export Access Query to a copy of Excel Template, then run Excel macro

I have the following code (see below) in MS Access that dumps data into an Excel Template.  Once the data is exported into the Excel Template, I want a Macro that is in the Excel Template to run, and then do a SaveAS and save the finished report (spreadsheet) to a .xls format and not overwrite the Excel Template.

How can I get the Excel macro in the Template run after it dumps the Access data (Query) into the Template?

I have this line of code in there to run the Excel macro:

xlObj.Run "'" & xlWB.Name & "'!macQtrlyAssocReport"

It is working to a certain extent.  The problem is the spreadsheet is not showing up even though I have this code there "xlObj.Visible = True".

Thanks,

That's strange. Sure that the Excel window is on screen (coordinate wise)? Do you see it in the taskbar?
