Hi there,

When you open multiple forms and the forms are maximised (ie not popup etc), a row of "navigation" tabs appears along the top, immediately above the form header.

Now, somewhat annoyingly, and despite the fact that I use various command buttons to force users through my database as a set process of tasks (ie first add a customer, close the form back to the main menu form, then open sales form or whatever), the users have an annoying habit of switching between forms when it's (programmatically) innappropriate to do so. In effect, they leave a dirty record on one screen and expect it to be picked up in another screen.

So, to prevent this, I need a way of disabling or removing those tabs if possible.

Many Thanks,

Rich

Try setting the forms modal property to "yes"

I found it.

It's an Access 2007/2010 thing.

If you go into database options for current database, change the "Document Window Options" from Tabbed Documents to Overlapping Windows.

It's been bugging me for a while!

Cheers,

Rich
