Is there a faster way to pick a window than to go to the Menu bar.  It would
be nice if there was a fast way to make a popup come up in the middle of the
screen with the names of the open windows on it to select.  Going to the Menu
bar is a bit cumbersome.

Thank you for your help,

Steven

Are you talking about navigating between open workbooks?

If so... you can use an CNTL + TAB command to quickly navigate from workbook
to workbook...

If you want a popup window, I think I saw an addin on the web you could
purchase.

I actually created another version of my own.

If you are interested in trying out the version I made, just let me know and
I will see about sending you a copy.

Mark,

Thank you for repsponding.  Is this something you can post here?  I am at
work and cannot recieve emails from this website's contacts.  If you cannot
put the code in a response, can you get me going in the right direction
conceptually?

Thank you,

Steven

What version of Excel are you using? The one I designed was for Excel 2003,
but it also seems to work fine in Excel 2007.

Here are some brief instructions on how to build the version I built. After
you get it working, it shouldn't be difficult to turn it into a VBA type
addin.

Let me know if you need any help.

Incredible.  Thank you.  I am working on just clicking the listbox1 so it is
fast ... I commented out where the user must pick the sheet.  I will just
accept the sheet where the file is currently.

Question:  Is there a way to make it so it goes to the file on a single
click.  I have tried a few things with no success.

Thanks for your help.  This is a very nice feature.

Not totally sure what you were asking for...

"Question:  Is there a way to make it so it goes to the file on a single
click.  I have tried a few things with no success."

Are you wanting it to launch after selecting the Worksheet (without the need
for a commandbutton)?

If so, you could play with the AfterUpdate feature for that particular
ListBox in the userform module.

Lets forget my last repsonse.  I do have one more question.  I added a couple
lines in the ShowWorkbooks so the current file will be the one selected when
the UserForm1 shows:

ThisFileIndex = 0
For Each wb In Workbooks
.ListBox1.AddItem wb.Name
If ActiveWorkbook.Name = wb.Name Then GoToThisFile = ThisFileIndex
ThisFileIndex = ThisFileIndex + 1
Next

.ListBox1.ListIndex = GoToThisFile

Thanks for all your help and knowledge.  This Navigator is going to make my
day much more enjoyable.

One last question:  Is there a way to make the listbox sort ascending?

Thank you,

Steven

Steven,

See if you can run this procedure to sort your listbox...
