Disabling Min/Max of Access in Taskbar

I've utilized the information from faq705-2562 in order to "hide" the Access grey box while being able to view my forms. However, the Access grey box can be recalled via right-clicking the Access representation in the W2K taskbar. I've asked the FAQ writer, but he's out for the week.

I was wondering if the right click options for the Access representation in the taskbar could be disabled? Also, is there any way that I can change the words "Microsoft Access" in the W2K taskbar to say something else (e.g. "my database"). Thanks.
 
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim lngReturn As Long
lngReturn = ShowWindow(Application.hWndAccessApp, SW_HIDE)
End Sub

you need to set the form popup = true

this code hides access completely except when you press cntr+alt+del

if you want to change the title go to tools startup and add title

if you cwant to change the access bitmap logo on start up create a bitmap with the same name as your db placed in the same directory and your picture you created will show up on start up
 
Thanks for responding. I'm relatively limited in my VB skillset, so I was wondering if you could provide some detail for me as to where this should go (e.g. in the code from the previous FAQ, in another module, etc...). Thanks again.
