Can you hide the database window? 1

[Stevehewitt]

Hello,

I currently have very little VBA experience, (learning at the moment - why on earth is it called visual BASIC for Applications!?! ) so most of what I am doing is restricted to what access provides me with macros.

At the moment I have ticked the "Hide Database Window" in the Startup option, but although users cannot see it, they have it listed on the Windows (XP) taskbar at the bottom, so if they click that, they can see everything!!!

Anyway to stop it from being listed at all?!

Thanks,

Steve Hewitt

In Access 2000 or 2002 .. trigger the following line of code in the first form that opens in your app.

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsinTaskbar", False
