Stupid question but i forgot how to deal with it...

Hi,

I have a macro which opens an application using Shell. The problem i have is that the opened application becomes the active window but it remains minimized in the taskbar at the bottom.
How do i do to maximize this window and keep it as the active one???

Thanks in advance for any help.

Use either:

Shell "notepad.exe", vbMaximizedFocus

or

Shell "notepad.exe", vbNormalFocus

I had trouble with putting the parameters in parenthesis. I believe if they are in parenthesis, you have to say something like x = Shell("notepad.exe",vbMaximizedFocus)
