Maximize Application

[JohnC]

Please help! I've used this code to open a PDF:

Private Sub Map_Click()

Shell """C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""C:\TransServer\GFMap.pdf"

End Sub

However it always opens minimized. Is there any code I could use to open it
maximized?

The Shell function takes a second, optional, 'windowstyle' argument. Try
passing vbMaximizedFocus as the value of this argument. See Shell Function
in the help file for a list of other possible values.

The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for
me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups. E-mail replies to
this post will be deleted without being read. Any e-mail claiming to be
from brenreyn at indigo dot ie that is not digitally signed by me with a
GlobalSign digital certificate is a forgery and should be deleted without
being read. Follow-up questions should in general be posted to the
newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
