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.
I'm sure there must be away for the window to remain open
Any ideas??

I suggest you try a MS Access newsgroup.

I've tried it using MS Office 2003 and access does not minimise, what
version are you using.??
In access are you using a link on a form or within a table.
