Using Access2002

Using the shell.exe call to call a MYOB application and export some data.

What is bugging me is the flickering of the screen as the shell function
goes into MYOB to do it's thing. I have tried changing the windowstyles to
all the different types (including the Hide), to no avail.

I would really like to be able carry out the shell command without losing
the focus from my Access app. Is there a way using the shell command, or
another way??

TIA
Michelle
 
Once the other process ( MYOB ) takes over from the Shell command, then it
controls the screen however it wants. If MYOB exposes its objects to OLE
Automation, then maybe you can do it through that.

I havent tried it, but I doubt it will work. The application you are
freezing is the current application, not the one spawned by the Shell
process.
