Making AutoCAD reappear

Making AutoCAD reappear

Making AutoCAD reappear

(OP)
I have an AutoCAD VBA program that opens Microsoft Excel to place data in it.  Later, the user needs to interact with the AutoCAD drawing (answering message boxes, etc.) but the AutoCAD window is behind the Excel window so the user has to click on the icon at the bottom of the desktop to see the AutoCAD window.  How can I make it reappear to the user without them having to click anything?

RE: Making AutoCAD reappear

how about Alt + Tab ?

RE: Making AutoCAD reappear

(OP)
The alt + tab brings up a window that does bring up some windows, but not the AutoCAD window.  Also I'm trying to get the program to do it automatically.  I still working on trying to get it to work as shown in developerfusion.com

Thanks
