Joe To do this sort of thing I now use a variety of Shell command, not to run Word, Excel etc but Rundll so that you effectively invoke whatever app is associated with the file type. Someone on the list gave it to me (sorry, can't give due credit cos can't remember and code doesn't say). Anyway, it works a treat, opens app in separate window, doesn't touch the Access app at all. You just put a call to it on the Click or Double-Click (wherever you want) event behind the control. If you're interested I can send it to you off-list.

A link to a web address or what? And what are you using to execute the link? I ask because I have links to URL's and don't get this happen. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk --------- Original Message -------- From: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> To: "accessd at databaseadvisors.com" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: [AccessD] Form to Link and return Date: 14/10/03 14:13 When I go from a form to a link and then return the form is minimized and at the bottom of the screen. Does anyone know how to automatically have the original form go back to the maximized state after the link is closed?
