Hi all.
I've posted this problem before in Word help and thought I'd give it one more try in this section. Is there any way to force focus from another application on Word, using VBA (the macro would be running behind the third party software)? i've tried API calls as well as ".Activate" and ".SetFocus" but none of this works the second time around. the third party swoftware only releases focus on creation of the first document.
Any help would really be appreciated.
thanks
