Shell function

L

I am trying to convert a horror show application from Access '97 (although it
was originally written prior to this version) to Access 2002.

The code uses 'Temp = Shell(WORDPATH, 6)' to start up MS Word and keep it
minimized without focus. This worked fine in Access '97 in a Windows NT
environment but is not working correctly in Access 2002 in an XP environment.
It is opening Word but keeping the focus on Word and not on my original
Access application.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
