Database Window Displaying

[Chris Cairns]

I have the Display Database Window unchecked in Startup. The Database
Window does not display nor can a user display using a special key. The
problem is when a user prints to an Adobe Acrobat PDF writer. The pdf
writer prompts the user for a file name to save the report. At that point a
second window appears on the task bar and remains there even after the PDF
has been created. If the user then clicks on that second window it displays
the database window.

I can prevent this on my computer by going to Tools -- Options and then
unchecking the Windows in Taskbar option. My question is will this setting
carry over to all users? Is there a way I can force this setting?? I
really don't want users to have access to the tables directly!

This is a bug in Access, that can be solved by turning off the Windows In
Taskbar option:

If Application.GetOption("ShowWindowsInTaskbar") Then
Application.SetOption ("ShowWindowsInTaskbar"), False
End If

I don't think it will be carried over, but you can use the SetOption Method
on the application such as the following:

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", False

and "Set Options from Visual Basic".
