Controlling Third Party Application

[David Sinclair]

Wanting to control a Third Party Application from Access 2003 on a Vista Based machine. Once it has the focus the 3rd Party Appliaction can be controlled through "Hot Keys".

My objective is within the VB code that I use to control my Access Applicantion I need to be able to shift the focus to the already open application and apply the "Hot Keys" then return the focus back to Access.

Does any one know how to do this?

Thanks
