# My Get Data (or Update/Insert/Upsert) Dialog Box Is Visible in Windows Toolbar, but I Can’t Bring It Forward

## Learn how to access the Get Data box when you can't bring it forward.

This is a known issue of the older version of Microsoft Ribbon control. It will be fixed once we switch to XML Ribbon, meanwhile here's the workaround:

1. Hover your mouse over the Excel icon in your Windows toolbar. Two preview windows will appear: of Excel and the dialog box that you can't see.
2. Right-click on the preview of the dialog box and select Maximize from the subsequent context menu.

All set! At this point you should be able to see the dialog box.
