I have an .mde posted on our network and don't want people to be able to access the database while using the application (to protect tables/macros/etc...).

I have accomplished this on my local terminal by unchecking the 'Windows in Taskbar' box, but when other users access the .mde file, their local machines show the multiple windows in the taskbar (which allows them to access the database!).

Can I manipulate the 'Windows in Taskbar' setting from inside my application (VB, etc...)to keep the Database Window from popping up?

Thanks.
 
Add the following code to your database, preferably in your startup form.

Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskBar", False
