    Macro to change active window

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to enter this very simple macro that is supposed to switch from one active window to another. However, I'm getting an error, which I can't quite figure out. Here is the code:
    Sub ChangeWin()
    On Error GoTo ChangeWinErr
    Set nw = ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
    If Windows.Count > 1 Then nw.Activate
    Exit Sub
    End If ChangeWinErr:
    Windows(1).Activate
    End Sub
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hello judasdac,

    You have a few syntax errors in the code. This is what it should look like...
    Sub ChangeWin()
      On Error GoTo ChangeWinErr
        Set nw = ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
        If Windows.Count > 1 Then 
           nw.Activate
           Exit Sub
        End If 
    ChangeWinErr:
        Windows(1).Activate
    End Sub
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross
