How do I stop access from minimising after hyperlink

Guest

Hi
In my database I have hyperlinks to some word documents. When the user
clicks on the hyperlink and brings up the word doc. Access minimises. When
the user has finished with the word doc and closes it they then have to
maximise the database again. This causes confussion from some users as they
think the database has closed and try to reopen it.

Any ideas??

1. Train your users to look at the task bar to see if your Named,
application is already running before trying to open a new instance.

2. On opening your application, scan the task list to see if an
application of that name is already running. If it is, Warn the User
with a msgbox and when they click OK, quit the newly opened instance.
