Re: Word Automation Focus?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Eric,

I'm using word automation from HTML to open Word and various documents. The
first time (when I open the application) Word and the document shows. The
second time (when Word is already open) it dosn't always show Word, instead
the minimized icon just flickers shortly in the task bar. I'd like the
document to show/get focus every time.

If you don't show us the code, it's difficult to make suggestions...

But have you tried the .Activate method of the application and/or document
object?
