>> how do I launch an application in the background?


> tell app "Address Book"
> activate in the background
> end tell

Does anyone know whether it's possible to launch Excel in the background? I
tried this, and the script compiled as

Tell app "Excel"
Activate of the background

...and then Excel didn't understand the command.

Thanks,
Rob Stavis
