I have a text box on a form whose control source is a hyperlink field. When
I click the hyperlink, the referenced file opens (it is a Word doc), but
Access minimizes. How can I keep Access at its same state/size? I've looked
at the properties of the control but haven't found anything that helped.

Click to expand...

Has always behaved that way. PITA ain't it?

Use ShellExecute instead is the only way I have found to avoid it.

Rick, thanks. It helps just knowing the facts. I wonder if I could write an
event process to restore the window?
