Access Behaviour

[Rob]

Hi All,

Working with Access XP, i noticed the following:

When I open a form (design or runtime) a new button on my
task-bar appears. So if i open 40 forms, I have at least
40 buttons on my task-bar. (actually, I don't want that,
but ok, I do not seem to have a choice in that)

But now, when I search (CTRL-F) for a specific word in any
of my VBA-code (including the code behind forms), Access
seems to open all the forms where it finds the specific
word in design-mode, but doesn't show them on the task-
bar...and they are NOT hidden.

Is thsi by design, or is there a way to open forms without
showing them on the taskbar ? (I don't mean opening them
hidden)

Go to Tools->Options->View and uncheck the option "Windows in Taskbar".

Not really - I wish it was off by default!
