KLC,

What code are you using? The following code works fine for me. Be sure to
change the folder name to the appropriate folder.


Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office2000\Office\WinWord.exe",
vbMaximizedFocus

Help!!

I am trying to open Word 2000 and maximize it
(vbMaximizedFocus) but it keeps giving me a compiler error
expecting =. I have tried all combinations of constants
or values and no luck. Is there a patch out there or
something? Looks like I am running VB6 for excel 2000.
Any help would be appreciated.
