Hiding Activated Window Applications?

[Gary]

I use a form with an bound OLE object to activate an embeded Visio Drawing.
These drawings are embed in a table OLE Object. I am using Access 2000 with
xp sp2+ os.

I use VBA code to cycle through a table and for each Visio Object, I open it
by using the Activate and a Verb = 2. This opens up a Visio Access Windows
application and then I make the changes and close. The process repeats.

I need help in hiding all of this from being displayed on my screen. I
tried hiding the Visio Windows using the api ShowWindow trying hiding it, but
it doesn't work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary

You might try something like;

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSomeform", , , , , acHidden

I already did that. That hides the form that has the bound OLE object.

When I activate the Visio drrawing from the table, the Visio Window pops up.

I need to have the Visio Window open to do the changes (like layer selection).

Is there a way to hide it, but still allow me to do the changes and close it??


Thanks,

Gary

OK, I'm with you now. I'd ask them here about that one.

concerned.
