Application Icon

When I create my MDE I disable things in the Startup
section like Special Access Keys, no Database Window,
etc... and my application is locked down about as tight
as any Access MDE can be. However, recently I decided to
use an Application Icon (also set on the Startup options
form) and now my MDE opens with the Database Window
accessible (the startup form still opens, but I can
switch to the database window). Is this a bug, or am I
missing another setting ? I tried it both ways with
the 'Use as Form and Report icon' switched on/off. When
I remove the icon the MDE opens as before - with only the
main form open.
 
Hum...I never seen this...

You might make mention of what version...

You could also download a sample application I have that hides all of the
ms-access interface. Try converting it to a mde..and then assign a icon.

See if the database window still shows. If it does...you might have found a
bug here..

Anyway..give my sample a try...and see what happens....

Try downloading the 3rd example here...and try your test....

Jeff in this thread has noted this is bug (good catch Jeff).

The workaround for this bug is to turn off the windows in task bar option.

You can do this in code via:

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", False

In addition to Albert's suggestion you should probably update Access/Office to the latest service
pack since this bug was fixed with Office XP Service Pack 2. The latest service pack for Office XP
is Office XP Service Pack 3.

That's very nice. Put in a good word for me at Microsoft would ya?
Geez, I'd JUMP at the chance to work for Microsoft!!!
Family level income, great benefits, solid company foundation, chance to work with cutting-edge
technology products.

I haven't had a raise in over 3 1/2 years and my responsibilities and work load have at least
quadrupled in that time frame. Not to mention all the benefits that have vanished. Medical insurance
will probably be dropped here soon as well. :-(
We're not only not getting ahead or staying level, we're actually getting worse off every year.

I could be so lucky to work for Microsoft. I'll be Rita's personal assistant.
"What was that Rita? You need me to go to the next MVP meeting and hang out with everyone?
Well....... <big sigh>.......if I *have* to I suppose I will."

Thanks Dave, that would be great.

I wonder if they would allow me to still make Top 10 lists?
