Reactivating the screen

[Phi1Smith]

Hi
I'm working on a data logging program which will occasionally go into an alarm status. As the alarm is activated I want to get the Screen to wake up if its on standby. Could someone point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks

Phil

Have a small timer that scans a text box within a form every few seconds. If that textbox is changed (from a one to a Zero it sets of the active form.) Like so

form 1 loads first (It is the form that you want to pop up)

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
tmrAlarm.Enabled = True
Form2.Show
End Sub

Private Sub tmrAlarm_Timer()
If Form2.txtTrigger = "1" Then Form1.Show
End Sub


Is this any help? David Lerwill

WHAT!
Please read the Question

Anyway while replying to derwills responce I answered my own question, JUST USE "SendKeys"

Thank you dwlerwill for triggering this off.
