Question Move a Word message box to the top

I do automate Word with Access. The macro open over 20 Word documents that are Mail merged and printed out. BUT, if it occurs an error when the documents open (e.g. if a document don’t exist), it is difficult to find the message box in all documents that are open. I want that the message box are moved to the top over all windows that the user see it.

The simple answer would be to use the DIR or similar file object function to check if the file exists and then prompt the user with your own custom message box. To try to use API to grap the handle of the error message in Word and bring it forward seems like extra work to just do the error checking yourself up front.
