GetSaveAsFilename appears behind main window

[asrisk]

Hello

I have a macro that saves Outlook emails to a specified folder on disk. Because Outlook lacks a GetSaveAsFilename method, I'm using Excel's, as follows:

c = Excel.Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=txtCompoundFilename, fileFilter:="Outlook Message (*.msg), *.msg", Title:="Select save location")

This is fine under Windows XP and Office 2003, but under Windows 7 and Office 2010, the dialog box appears *behind* the Outlook window, and, because it is modal, gives the appearance that Outlook has frozen. Any ideas how can I make it come up on top, please?

Many thanks.

You could use api to create the dialog. Rather old reference to commondialog class code: thread707-62310.

Something else is try using window state and see if that works.
