minimise firefox

i have a selection of websites in one frame and browser type in another and also a search box. so when i click a command button it launches a website using the relevant application.

if or when i click the command button to launch the site and browser i would like the browser to be minimized. any ideas how i can do this?

i have the following code

Code:

---

Shell "D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=" & search

---

Code:

---

Shell "...", vbMinimizedNoFocus 'or vbMinimizedFocus

---

Btw... you could "join" two questions into one thread (since they are totally related) ;)

Shell "D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=" & search, vbMinimizedNoFocus
