Launch Acrobat maximized

[Guest]

From an Access 2003 form, I have a link to open a PDF file. It works fine,
but I'd like for Acrobat to open up in a maximized window. Can I control this
via Access?

Thanks.

Hi,
if you would use ShellExecute API - then you can define it there:

Thanks. I have looked at this code, and although I don't understand most of
it, I assume it will work if I pass the filename to fHandleFile function as
instructed. I'm a bit of a VBA novice and don't know exactly how and where to
do this. Can you help?

copy code from a link into new module
and then you can open PDF as:

call fHandleFile("c:\...\file.pdf", WIN_MAX)
