Detecting Excel Application Activate event

I have written a fairly extensive project in Excel using VBA which relies heavily on Userforms. All is fine until I move away from Excel (either to the desktop or another application) and then try to return to Excel. At this point, the active Userform is displayed over the last selected app without Excel being visible at all. Is there an Application.Activate event that I can trap to refresh Excel and display the app behind the Userform when then Taskbar Excel button is clicked. Workbook.Activate and Worksheet.Activate don't seem to have any effect.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
