I want to integrate two applications together and make the end user feel like they are only using one piece of software. My thought was that I could

1 - create a form that fills the whole screen and

2 - create a subform that fills all the screen except for an allowance on the left side of the screen where I could put switchboard-lime command buttons that will change the information shown in the subform.

I know how to launch MS Access subforms this way, but am uncertain how to do this with 3rd party Windows-based applications.

I know this type of thing can be done to initiaize an Internet Explorer session on a MS Access form.

Any ideas?
