experimenting with calling up a Word document from
a form. have a general field with an inserted object
(word document in it). This works ok, but word comes
up minimized. Also, where or how do I add the code
to run word macros on the document that is opened.

experimented with a command button to use
createobject("word.basic") and then
the .FileOpen("file") I hear disk activity as if
it's doing it, but i never see Word or the file I
want. Which is the best way to do it?

in 2.6 I used DDE commands which worked well.(?)
