Task Switching from Access VBA

I have an Access 2002 application that opens Word 2002 using the Word 10.0 Object Library reference. Word opens perfectly fine and I can do all the necessary things in Word from Access that I need to do, but the problem is Word doesn't become the active window. I tried using the Activate method of the Word object and that does create a button on the task bar but the user has to click that button in order to get Word to show up. I'm sure there's an API call to use that would switch to Word instead, right? Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
