Is there a way to have my "stand-alone-like" .mde file available in the
standard task bar, like all the other windows? (Instead of having it
minimize to a little itty bitty bar just above the start button.)
If you are not using the ms-access runtime, then for each form you open, you
will see a entry in the windows task bar. You can turn this off so you only
see ONE entry, even if you have many forms open.
Remember, users can minimize the window inside of ms-access (and, that would
minimize the window to that bar above the start button...however, it is
fluke it is above the start button..since you can also un-maximize the
apparition. The solution here is to actually REMOVE the ability of users to
minimize the form, OR CHANGE the settings to "show windows in task bar".
(this feature is only in later versions of ms-access, a2002, a2003...I can't
remember if a2000 can do this).
So, if you can't use windows in task bar setting, then I would suggest you
remove the minimize for the form, and the user WILL STILL be able to
minimize the appcation, and that will appear in the task bar just like all
other applications.
You can turn off the min/max buttons for the form in design mode by setting
the min/max buttons to none.
