Using Code to Multitask

[JPeters]

Does anyone know a clever trick to set the focus on alternate programs that are loaded using outlook? I want to multitask from Access over to Outlook's Inbox window when they push a button. Just curious if anyone knows how to do this. I've done some pretty hefty browsing in books, on this site's search, and in Access' Help file and I haven't had much luck. Thanks a ton.

To the best of my knowledge, you can't multi-task in VBA. You can in VB.NET. It implements multi-tasking. ----------------------

Awe .. that's a bummer. Thanks for the reply. I know I an send specific keyboard commands to the comp through VBA .. something lke % = alt .. then <tab> ... ... anyone know if I can make this loop until it targets my appropriate window? THat might work.
