Hi!

See Thread #529215 Message #529628, maybe the function described tehre can help you so no need to confuse users by auto-minimizing widnow.

>I have an application that instantiates a Word Dll for printing reports within the application. My problem is that when the user clicks the mouse or types from the keyboard, this interrupts the print process that I thought was running in the background. What I am looking for is a way to create the object and set the status of the window to minimized and no focus. If anyone out there has had a similar need please let me know haow this is done. If it is not possible to do with the createobject command, let me know what you have done in its place.
