Return Focus to Access after Excel Export

[Alt255]

This is something thats been bothering me for a while. I have a VBA
subroutine that takes a recordset and pastes the data to a blank Excel
worksheet. Then Access gives a message that it's complete.
The problem is that the active window is the excel worksheet, and not
the access form. Anyone know how to return the focus back to Acess
after the copyfromrecordset is complete?

The code is too long, but here is a trimmed psuedo code

set recordset1 = database.querydefs(Trade Query")

set xlapp = excel.application
xlapp.displayalerts = false
xlapp.visible = true
xlapp.usercontrol = true
set xlwb = xlapp.workbooks("C:\Excel Template.xls")
set xlws = xlwb.worksheets("sheet1")
xlws.select
xlws.cells(10,1).copyfromrecordset recordset1
xlws.close
recordset1.close
msgbox("Done")

It is the msgbox done I want the user to see, but the active window is
the excel file. Once I go to Access, I will see the message, but I
want the code to automatically return to access once the recordset has
been copied, so the user knows that it is done. Right know some of the
users are just staring at excel not realising that the data exports
are done.

I finally figured it, use:
AppActive "<<Name of the Running Program>>"
