Activating Word (bringing it to focus)

[Todor Todorov]

My app uses Word automation to control it and create a document (a mail
merged document). It works fine, except that in some cases Word does not get
activated. The user does not see the new document and things something went
wrong.

What is the correct way to force activate Word and bring the new document as
the active app window?

I can live with a solution that only works for Word XP and 2003, but Word
2000 would be nice.

Thansk!

Hi Todor,

In Word's Object Modal, we have an Activate method for Application,
Document, Window,
You may have a try to see if that approach works for you.

Here is a link with some code for your reference.
