Long method name, but you can pass in
NSWorkspaceLaunchWithoutActivation as one of the options to avoid
having the app come to the foreground (10.3+).

activates Excel .. what do I need to add to re-activate my Cocoa
app .. "activate me" was terribly easy with AppleScript.
NSApplication has methods to active your application.
found it ... thanks!
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];

Whoops ... almost ... activateIgnoringOtherApps momentarily
activates my cocoa app. However, the application, Excel, keeps
activating itself until it is the front application.
So, I guess what I really need is a technique to determine when the
app, Excel, is completely finished coming to the front and then
calling activateIgnoringOtherApps.
I really don't know how to do this because this "smells" of having
to interrupt Cocoa's main event loop and that is a definite no-no.
Maybe its a matter of asking Excel to notify "me" when it completes
its startup. NSNotification??
