On my PC using Windows XP sp2 and MS Access 2003 sp2, using the above example:
Call Shell("explorer.exe " & strUrl, vbMaximizedFocus)
My Internet Explorer does not open Maximized. Nor Minimized I mean in the taskbar, but in a sized window even though I previously maximized IE and closed it.
Actually I now tried all the WindowStyle combinations, including vbMinimizedFocus and they all do the same, open a sized window!
On a side note, this has been nagging me for years. Why does a hyperlink set via VBA to an unbound field with the Hyperlink property set to yes, not work?!? Tried plain web link and adding #'s, nothing works. Not clickable!!!
