Get window handle from second Word-document
Please can you give me an example how to get a Window Handle from the second MS Word-window.
I opened 2 Wordfiles in VB
In Window98 the last opened Word-document stay on top. In Windows 2000 this behaviour changed.
I want resolved this problem with SetForegroundWindow.
The first handle you can find with FindWindow(vbNull, WordApp.Caption) but the second one is my question.
Order is there an other solution for this problem.

It appears a problem with Office version not windows version. Word97 opens documents in the same window but Word2000 opens in a separate instance.

Private Sub cmdCallWord_Click()
Dim sFile As String
sFile="c:\test.doc"
' Start MS Word and open file
CallWord sFile
End Sub
Sub CallWord(sPath As String)
On Error Resume Next
Set AppWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo error
Set AppWord = CreateObject("Word.Applica
AppWord.Visible = True
Else
AppWord.Activate
End If
On Error GoTo error
AppWord.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
AppWord.Activate
AppWord.Documents.Open (sPath)
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
Set AppWord = Nothing
Exit Sub
