Help Panel Titlebar Behing Taskbar

[JamesJ]

I set the windows Taskbar to remain in front of other windows but when
I click Microsoft Office Access Help it's titlebar is behind the taskbar
preventing me from closing it. Any ideas why?

Thanks,
James

It is possible to drag the window until it is mostly hidden behind the
taskbar. If you have the taskbar at the top of your screen, the help window
may be opening so high up on the screen that it's title bar is hidden behind
the taskbar. If so, try unchecking the "keep in front" box for the taskbar
and then click on the help window. If the help windows title bar comes back
in front, drag the help window away from the taskbar before closing the help
window. Recheck the box for the taskbar.

If all else fails, you can right click the help window's button on the
taskbar and choose Close from there. You can also right click the taskbar
and choose Cascade Windows or Tile Windows Horizontally/Vertically to move
the window from behind the taskbar.

That's what I had to do. The Taskbar is on top. Just
wondered if I should be concerned 'bout it.

Thanks much,
James

No, it's nothing to be concerned about, just a pain. The reason I suggested
moving the help file then closing it is because some applications remember
where they were when they were closed last. I'm not sure if the help file
does or not. If they do, they usually remember the location of their top,
left corner. Changing screen resolution can cause the window to appear to be
in a different place than where it was when it was closed, but the top, left
corner should still be at the same pixel location.
