Hey All No biggy, I am just curious, if anyone else has run into this. I have a form in an Access application, that allows the user to browse through the folders on a drive and select a file and then click a view button to open the appropriate application and view the file. The opening and closing of an application/file uses the basic logic supplied by Dev Ashish on his site fHandle (Win_Normal) and FCloseApp. To avoid clutter on the task bar I have the program OnClick of the View button, close the previously viewed file and open the new selected file for viewing. Everything works fine (I have done numerous tests opening and closing all types of files). Except for sometimes, when I am working with Word Documents, Opened and displayed on the Task Bar - MyWord1.Doc New file selected MyWord2.Doc. The program closes the MyWord1.Doc and then opens and mysteriously closes Word2.Doc. If I then select MyWord3.Doc , it gets opened up and (somtimes not always) displayed as a tiny frame window in the upper left corner of the desktop and I have to click and drag to resize it to view the contents. The only thing I can think of that may cause this is sometimes if I click on a Word Document displayed on the task bar, it will occasionally (very rare) display a message asking if I want to revert to (something like) the previous version.
