How to give Excel workbook focus

[JM]

Hi
I was wondering if anyone out there knew how to give a Excel workbook focus.
Problem is that if I go away and do work on something else e.g. E-Mail while
the C# program is dropping data into Excel that it will miss data.

How do I give the Excel workbook focus so that it will drop the data in and
not go into limbo land? A web address or a snippet of code would be helpful.

Thanks

I know that this can be achieved using the SetForegroundWindow API passing
the window handle. This API can be called from within C# but I don't know if
there is an 'easier' way using .NET base classes
