Question : VBA command to open EMBEDDED OLE object - Word document

I currently use the code shown below to open an embedded Word document.
Sometimes it works perfectly; opening the document in Word in full screen (that's what I want).

Other times it just opens within the field. How am I supposed to see a document in a half inch field?

In Excel, there's a fail safe command:
ActiveSheet.Shapes("OLEobject").Select
Selection.Verb Verb:=xlOpen <<<<<<

Is there something similar in Access 2007?

BTW: Does Access 2007 have a macro recorder? I haven't found it so far.

Thanks

Answer : VBA command to open EMBEDDED OLE object - Word document

Too bad. If you have Access 2007, you might be able to switch to the new Attachment data type -- it doesn't cause as much database bloat as the old OLE data type.
