Subject: [AccessD] Access Form Outside The Application Container - Making It
Active Programmatically

    This relates to a minimized Access 2000 application, where one of
its forms is made to pop up on the desktop via API calls.

    Though everything proceeds as desired, the pop up form itself does
not get focus until clicked upon. Following API calls have been tried -
but no success in setting focus on the form -

    ShowWindow
    BringWindowToTop
    SetForegroundWindow
    SetActiveWindow
'    SetFocus                     ' Gives Compile Error

    Note - FlashWindow and SetWindowText if tried, do what is expected
but the focus gets lost eventually
        
    I shall be thankful for any help in this regard.

Regards,
