[AccessD] Word Window On Top

Heenan:

With WordObj declared as: Dim WordObj As Word.Application

and the Function in a separate module, the statement SetForegroundWindow 
WordObj.hWnd won't compile - gives a method or data member not found error.

The Word 11.0 object library is checked in the references.

I tried redeclaring WordObj as Object but that didn't work either.

TIA

Rocky
