How are you calling GetOpenFilename?

<div>
I declared xApp as an Excel application then call xApp.GetOpenFilename() method from VB 2015. I stored the filename generated in a string variable. My problem is my VB application is running the main form before I called the method. When I call it, it runs behind my VB application. I could not get it on top even by hitting Alt+Tab to get into it. I can get to it by going to the task manager and selecting the excel application and goto application option.

How would you make an excel openfile dialog to appear on top of an application which calls it?
