Is it possible to have @PopupChoiceList open in full screen?

Thanks

I don't think so. Why do you want it to?

I am using it in the WordMerge and the list of documents is longer than the box and the names of the documents are wider than the box.  My boss thinks it is too much work to change the box size or to use the scroll bars.   Usually I just chalk it up to bosses whining, but it really is a pain.  We have a directory with our loan documents in it and it contains 12 sub directories with over 400 documents.  Each time you click on a sub directory the box changes back to its original size.  Unfortunately it does the same thing if you double click to make it full screen.  When you choose a sub directory, it goes back to the original size (i assume because of the data refresh/reload) and you must double click again to enlarge it.

Any other options from the popup family that would allow resizing or full screen?

Thanks

Would @LocalFileDialog or @ServerFileDialog serve?

These will be very helpful in many situations. 

I could not see a way to set the path that it opens into. 

I ended up just calling a script to open the file dialog box in word and then passing the selected file/files to word.  Of course I had to modify WordMerge to bypass the sections that retrieved directory listings and such.   It works for our small office situation since I control all updating and software installations.

Thanks
