  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.
