Opening Access 97 db in Access 2002

I have opened a 97 db in Access 2002 and all seemed to be working fine. Users with Office 97 on their pc can use the application as well as users using Office XP. Today I was alarmed by someone that there was a little problem, starting the application in Office XP doesn't create one button on the taskbar but two, the second one showing the database window... In the start up options 'Display Database Window' is not checked and this works fine in Access 97. Access 2002 seems to ignore this option. I tried to solve this problem by adding some code to the open event in the first form, like:

CurrentDb.Properties("StartUpShowDBWindow") = False

or:

DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide

but it doesn't do the trick. I don't want the users to get access to the database window when starting the application in Access 2002, but right now I don't know how to get rid of it. Can anybody please help me?
