Switch to a specific open 3rd party program

[p]

Hi

I'd like to know how to move windows focus from a microsoft access
program to 3rd party software which is also running. It would be
inadvisable to use sendkeys to alt-tab through this environment and I
cannot find kb articles relating to this problem post 1996.

Thanks in advance

You might try opening to a specific document with the ShellExecute api:
