this is how i start the word application
Dim fileName As String
Dim wordapp As Word.Applicatio n
Dim document As Word.Document
fileName = Application.Sta rtupPath & "\wordDocuments \templates\temp late.dot"
wordapp = New Word.Applicatio n
wordapp.Visible = True
wordapp.Activat e()
document = wordapp.Documen ts.Open(fileNam e)
the strange thing is that the same code is also used in another form
(suppose there is as frmData2 which does the same thing (aka : opening a word
doc or opening an frmConnect form) but in the later case the code in the
activated event (of frmData2 form) is executed
do u think i should use system.diagnost ics.process.sta rt("....") ? how can i
get the process handle so that i use the waitForExit ?
i have tried
system.diagnost ics.process.sta rt("....")
a = system.diagnost ics.process.get currentprocess
but this returns the process of my vb project :(
thx for your time:)

When the fromComment is showed
dim frmComment as new formComment
frmComment.show dialog
'Here is where should the operation go on when frmComment closes.
However there is in my opinion no reason for an activated event, it is
already active.
For your word application it is very dependend how you start it.
When it is with process.start you can set a

... frmSearch and frmData are mdi children ( frmSearch.mdipa rent = frmMain,
frmData.mdipare nt = frmMain) and are loaded using the show() method.
frmComments is non mdi and is shown using showDialog().
