[AccessD] Windows in Taskbar

Apparently in AXP, if you have the taskbar in windows checked, then click on
one of the windows in the taskbar from the app, the database window will
show even if you have it checked not to show.  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.

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.
