Turn Off Window in Taskbar Feature

[Guest]

Hello, I have an Access 2003 application that I want to turn off the window
in taskbar feature. I know that you can go to Tools -->> Options to do this
but how do you get the feature to stick with your file if you deploy it to
other users.

Thanks

Don

Don,

Please note that my comments apply to Access 2000, which is the version I am
currently using. There's a good chance they apply to 2003 as well.

Please investigate the Application.SetOption method, which you can call from
code in your startup form. Also, search help for "Set Options from Visual
Basic", but be aware that in A2K the Option Name you want is incorrectly
listed in help as "Use Taskbar For Each Document", when in fact the correct
Option Name is "ShowWindowsInTaskbar".

Use the method like this: Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", 0

However, this will change the option permanently for that user, so it would
probably be a good idea to save the initial setting to a variable (using
Application.GetOption) before you change it. Then, before your application
closes, you can change it back.
