I have not been able to reproduce this behavior in AXP on my own applications. But, I distribute my application as .ade files to avoid all of this. --Susan -----Original Message----- From: Swisher, Timothy B.

According to MS, it is a known problem (kb # 313915), but the solution was to change the the setting from the options window, which is not feasible for me. I can only make this happen on some of my databases and only some of my clients have problems, so who knows.

I've migrated 97 apps to AXP and never seen this behavior. Out applications hide the database window and I haven't found a way to show it by clicking on something in the taskbar when the built-in menus, etc., are turned off.

I alos agree that it is something I will need to turn off.

I'm in AXP and it works there. If you do go the code route, I agree with Mark that you should be sure to reset them to show on exit because this is a setting that will affect any Access fiile they try to use. --Susan -----Original Message----- From: Mark Whittinghill [mailto:mwhittinghill at symphonyinfo.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 3:14 PM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Windows in Taskbar Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = False You may want to save the user's setting at startup to a global variable or table, and set it back when they exit. For example, on startup MyVariable = Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = False Then on your exiting code Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = MyVariable ----- Original Message ----- From: Swisher, Timothy B. <mailto:tswisher at gfnet.com> To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 2:49 PM Subject: [AccessD] Windows in Taskbar Hello Group, Anyone know how to programmatically unselect the "Windows in Taskbar" option. I am trying to work around the bug that shows the database window even if it is hidden when the user click one of the windows in taskbar. The fix is to uncheck this option on the database, but I can not go to each client machine and do that. My development machine is A2K and I have some users with AXP that can now get to the database window. TIA.
