Automating MS WORD

[LDG1234]

I have written some code that will open word, create a document and save it which all works fine. Word Opens Up, Saves and then Closes down.

Is there a way to do this behind the scenes so the operator doesn't see word opening and closing in front of them. I t hink I should be using the Echo function.

I would be grateful for any help#

Many thanks Lloyd Gozzett

Dear Lloyd

I do the opposite to make Word visible - ie: issue a command that says objWord.Application.Visible=True.

So I suppose you could ensure that Access stays in front by using the reverse (ie: = False).

However, I think there is a way to start programs in Minimized mode, which might be tidier.
