Launch Taskbar Application on Word Closing

[Word.user]

Hi,
Is It possible to launch an already running Application in taskbar, after we
close word, in a macro?
Also can we specify the Window or application name to launch?
For Example:
I have an application running, when minimized in Taskbar it say "Oracle Form
Builder", so when I close word, I want to launch that application.

Thanks in Advance

Type
Shell
or
Task
In Word VBA help and click on links for information.

But in order for the macro to run at least an invisible instance of Word
would have be running to execute a VBA macro. So the timing would be to
activate the other application and then close the Word that is running the
code.

Other options would be to use other scripting languages like jscript,
vbscript, dos batch files, wshell, etc.
