mappoint looses forms focus - Microsoft Access / VBA

Gil

hello,
im automating mappoint through access to get mileage between two
address fields. when ever i call the function it makes mappoint the
focus, and i have to reclick the access screen to regain access forms
focus. how can i get access focus via vba and without having to click
the form?

i tried using docmd.selectobj ect acform, "myform" and me.setfocus . it
looks like it works by highlighting a text box however the mappoint is
still under focus and doesnt set the focus back to the form. if i hit
alt+f4 it will ask me if i want to close mappoint. thats how you can
tell for sure mappoint is still under focus.
any ideas?
if the mappoint app was hidden im sure it would solve this problem but
i do not want the mappoint app hidden. i want it open , but just
minimized, so the user can have the option to restore mappoint and play
around with it and than minimize it again.

any ideas?
thanks

I am not sure what version of Access you are using, or the specifics of your
code, however, you may want to look at the AppActivate VBA function. In
Access 2003 for example, each form is given its own window. So you could
activate the actual form directly. For example:

AppActivate "MyForm", False

Hi, I want to change the value of a submit button when the onChange event is fired by a Radio Input. Problem is, it seems the value is modified in the gui only when the Radio Input looses focus, not when its value is changed by the user.

Python Digest authentication against MS MapPoint

by: trapeze.jsg | last post by:

Hi. Is there anybody who have tried to use python to access Microsofts MapPoint soap services? I am trying hard but I have run into a big thick wall called md5 digest authentication.

MapPoint and Access - How to automate?

by: deko | last post by:

I have an address form in Access 2003 that contains the usual address information such as AddressLine1, AddressLine2, City, State, etc... I would like to put a button on this form that feeds the address info into MapPoint, along with a fixed return address, and gets driving directions - or at least get a map of the destination. I have the MapPoint software, but have not used it. Will MapPoint provide driving directions, or just a map? ...

by: Gil | last post by:

I am automating mappoint in access and was wondering what is a better way to have the mappoint map running all the time: 1.call it as a seperate application OR 2. as an activex control within a form in access. Both will give me the same data results, but I am more concerned about performance. Any ideas? Thanks,
