I currently have a working application in Access 2010. I create an object to create an Excel file, set the path, transfer the text then open the Excel file so it is visible to the client. I use the following statements:



Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

set path - transfer text - etc. ...

XL.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strFolderPath
XL.Visible = True

This works fine in Access 2007 and Access 2010. When running in Access 2013, the Excel file is created and the task bar item blinks to show the new item, but the Excel screen does not open for the client. they need to click on the task bar icon to show the Excel file.

What do I need to do differently in Access 2013 to have the Excel file become "visible" to the user?

Thanks.
