Access in a Single Window

[gwunta1907]

OK I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times but with the search tool on this site its hard to be specific since it seems to be cutting out words 3 letters long or shorter.

What I would like to do is have Access only take up one window/icon in the taskbar. Every time I open another form, access creates a new window in the taskbar, leading to a very cluttered taskbar very quickly. Can anyone please direct me to the post where the code for this is posted or can anyone post the code to this or post a sample database that achieves this.

I've done it before so I know the code exists but I cant find the dbase that I used it in so Im kinda screwed at the moment. Please note that I am not looking for code that puts the database in the system tray but just into one taskbar icon in windows.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Paul, dont I look like a right fool now lol. Im wondering if this can be automatically set in the use of code. Say, for example, I wanted to distribute the dbase and have, on first run lets say, set that option described in Paul's post.

Thanks mate

Look at SetOption, though personally I'm always hesitant to change the user's chosen environment.
