I have been working on a VBA macro to Generate a BOM table in a drawing and then Save it out to an .xls.

I am not a coder but have gotten close through internet searches.

The missing piece in the middle of the code seems to be that I need to programatically Select the BOM Table to activate the PropertyManager.   

Please Help

Im running SW2019.

Macro code below:

Thanks,

Ryan
