Subject: open a Ms Word Application from browser
Posted By: Sheikh Abdul Jaweed Post Date: 12/11/2006 6:32:51 AM
Hi Dear,

I need to open a Ms Word Application from browser separately, which is working fine, but the problem is, it is opening in a minimize mode. I need it to be open in maximize mode with control/focus in it.
Below is my code.

    sub displayRTFDoc(rtfUrl)
        Dim oWordApp
        Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        oWordApp.Visible = True
        oWordApp.Documents.Open(rtfUrl)
        oWordApp.Documents(1).Activate
        Set oWordApp = Nothing
    end sub    

thanks
Jaweed

Isn't there a .Maximize method?
    sub displayRTFDoc(rtfUrl)
        Dim oWordApp
        Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        oWordApp.Visible = True
        oWordApp.Maximize
        oWordApp.Documents.Open(rtfUrl)
        oWordApp.Documents(1).Activate
        Set oWordApp = Nothing
    end sub
I'm not positive.  It just seems to me that I remember that there is.

When I record a macro in Word, it creates
    Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize
So maybe what you need to use is:
        oWordApp.WindowState = wdWindowStateMaximize ' (The value of the const is 1...)
