My deployed runtime Access 2003 does not show multiple open forms/reports in
the taskbar even though I checked it in the options menu in the Access MDE
file before I created the runtime program. How do I fix this?

Click to expand...

That is an option for Access (the program), not for a specific MDB file. It can
be programmatically set however you might want to ask your users about doing so
as it will not affect only your file but every Access file they use.

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", -1
 
As far as I know, in the runtime version, you don't get a bunch of
windows..but just one....

Not possible in the runtime.....

I mean, most commercial packages I install, and then open up he application,
is does NOT make multiple instances of the application in the task bar....

Further, a fairly large portion of my forms are model (not dialog, but
model). This means that the user has to open more forms, or return back
through the series of forms opened. This type of interface is common,
especially when you don't have the regular ms-access menus available. What
this means if I have 3 forms open, then the previous 2 forms cannot be used
until the current form is closed. having 3 entries on the task bar, but only
one of them be active is rather confusing (if the user clicks on other
entries in the task bar..they will seem to be frozen).

So, Most of the time, no windows in task bar is preferred, but obviously
your case, you prefer windows in task bar, and that is not a feature of
the runtime..
