Hi folks,
In an A2K app, I have attempted to use the following command in some
VBA code with IDENTICAL results with every single version of the
following:
Shell "outlook.ex e", vbHide
Shell "outlook.ex e", vbNormalFocus
Shell "outlook.ex e", vbMinimizedFocu s
Shell "outlook.ex e", vbMaximizedFocu s
Shell "outlook.ex e", vbNormalNoFocus
Shell "outlook.ex e", vbMinimizedNoFo cus
In every instance above, Outlook loads and shows me the Outlook window
and just stays there! All I want to do is to load Outlook in the
background and stay focused on the form that I was on when the command
was issued.
IOW -- the command arguments simply do not work as documented. Anyone
have a clue what I'm overlooking?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you can use the BringWindowToTo p API to set focus back to
where you want it.

Well, I tried this. The code executes just fine but it makes no
difference whatsoever -- Outlook doesn't even flicker -- it just stays
on top. Go figure.

Probably because Shell is an asynchronous call. It's a "shoot and
forget" kind of function call. Outlook will materialize many
milliseconds after the call is made, and well after the next call to
BringWindowToTo p is executed.
Try this:
Shell "outlook.ex e", vbNormalNoFocus
Me.TimerInterva l = 500
Private Sub Form_Timer()
Me.TimerInterva l=0 'stop timer
BringWindowToTo p Application.hWn dAccessApp
