<DIV>Hello Group,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have 2 (related) questions on this subject...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Question 1: If another application (it's not Access, I believe it's C++)
uses the Shell command to launch my Access application, and the Access app is
already open, will this simply make the Access app "active", or will it launch a
2nd instance of it? (I'm wanting it to make my app active, not open
another copy.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Question 2: Is there any kind of "Application.Activation" event I can hook
into? If the above issue can be resolved to activate the Access app, I
need Access to go to a specific form and process a small amount of data from the
launching application. (I can do this if the other app actually opens the
Access app, but am not sure if I can call this processing routine when the
already-open app is activated.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance for any direction you can provide.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>
