[AccessD] Windows in Taskbar

Tim,
 
Is this something that only occurs if you develop in AXP?  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.

	You can do that, but when you click on one of the windows in the
taskbar, the database window reappears, even if you have it unchecked.
I alos agree that it is something I will need to turn off.

		Can't you also just uncheck the option for "display
database window" in the startup options?  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.

			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

				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.
