Hello

An application windows is already opened. It is reduced when I clicked a cell in my Excel sheet.

How can I recall / select it and copy the content of the clipboard.

I think it could be done using the " vbNormalFocus", If so how do I know the path of the desired application.

Hope I'm clear

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
I don't know what Application window you mean. Is it Excel, MSWord, or what? One can use Activate and Wait to set the focus if we know the Windows title caption or maybe type of application. The copy part depends on the application type.

Thanks for your comments

I resolved it using a hotkey in AutoHotKey. Macro in Excel is sending the hotkey value witch is recognized and execute the given task.
