Hiding Activated Window Applications?

I use a form with an bound OLE object to activate an embeded Visio Drawing.
These drawings are embed in a table OLE Object. I am using Access 2000 with
xp sp2+ os.

I use VBA code to cycle through a table and for each Visio Object, I open it
by using the Activate and a Verb = 2. This opens up a Visio Access Windows
application and then I make the changes and close. The process repeats.

I need help in hiding all of this from being displayed on my screen. I
tried hiding the Visio Windows using the api ShowWindow trying hiding it, but
it doesn't work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary
 
You might try something like;

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSomeform", , , , , acHidden

I already did that. That hides the form that has the bound OLE object.

When I activate the Visio drrawing from the table, the Visio Window pops up.

I need to have the Visio Window open to do the changes (like layer selection).

Is there a way to hide it, but still allow me to do the changes and close it??


Thanks,

Gary
 
OK, I'm with you now. I'd ask them here about that one.

Yes, they'll be more experienced people there as far as Visio objects are
concerned.
