Several problems..

[Hierophant]

Hi there,

There are several issues that I'm hoping you're expertise can help me with.

1)

I have made a nice big Access 2k .mdb for a business, but when it runs in MS Access I dislike how there is an entry in the Windows taskbar for each Open form of the database. It would be more professional and neat if when another form is opened in the mdb multiple panes in the taskbar dont pop up..

How would I go about configuring the mdb to behave like this?

2) This problem is in relation to the startup options for an mdb, and is once again in Access 2k.

The short story is that I disabled menu items in the startup box, and there doesn't seem to be any way to open up the database with Menu choices that will let me revert the startup changes I originally made!! So effectively, the database seems to be made uneditable. (Fortunately I had backed up a few mins before playing around with it)... is this one way of making an unalterable .mdb file? If not, how can I revert the startup options? (This is all whilst having the db encrypted and password protected, might I add).

Cheers! Hope someone has some answers.

Q1. Go to Tools>Options and untick the 'Windows In Taskbar option'

Q2. Hold down the shift key when you open your database.
