Is it possible to show forms in the Taskbar?

[stevenblanc]

I've been hunting for a while. Since they've removed the show in taskbar option after 2003 I figure the quick way is out, but, surely there is still a VBA method of getting it done. I've done searched several forums, asked some experts, and browsed microsofts database. Nothing so far.

Anyone here have any ideas?

The intention is to use hide the access application window and show my forms in the taskbar. Also my users have expressed the desire to quickly switch between forms while switching back and forth between other tasks and software packages.


Cheers,

No, you can't do it. That functionality was removed completely in Access 2007 and 2010.

Can't help with Windows in Taskbar as Bob says that is gone. BUT for your Users see.. Switch Windows

Its not actually gone. I got it to work with some code I found for use with Excel user forms.

Also it works well with hiding the access window, though the best I can figure is to have it flash on startup as access loads before any of the forms to run any code
