How to close an already opened Excel spreadsheet?

[ray123]

This works to close any excel file but as you stated you are prompted to save the file.  The problem is that this message prompt window is set behind all of the other windows that are open on my computer so you can't see it, unless you look for a flashing icon on the toolbar.  Is there a way to programatically get this prompt window to go to the front so it catches the operators attention?

Hi Ray,

You can bring excel to the front by setting the Visible and Windows State property node. Shown below.
