Opening an application from a form

[slrphd]

I have a form based on a table with several OLE objects in it. Most of the objects are Acrobat *.pdf files and open to the file when I double click on the control in the form. One of the controls links to a MS-Word file and initially opened to give me the entire screen to read the file, which was what I wanted. Now, when I click the control, only a small window opens that is the size of the control and only shows a fraction of the document. Evidently, I have set some field to a value or state that controls the size of the window that opens when I invoke an application through a form but I cannot recover from what I have done. Anyone have any ideas?

Alright open word, and instead of maximizing it use the Drag tool and drag the app window larger, then close it, and try opening it again.

Thanks for your suggestion but, of course, I could not make it work. What I get is a small window with the horizontal and vertical ruler bars and a little bit of text, the upper left corner of the paragraph. The curious thing is that, initially, the application worked as desired and I would get a full screen pop up. It seems as though I have changed the state of a parameter but I cannot identify it. Thanks for trying.

One other observation: the form is derived from a table. In table view, the OLE opens as desired when double clicked. That is the behavior I want when in form view. Thanks.
