Task Bar

[drwip]

Is there a way of turning off the task bar when a report is opened in
'Preview' mode? And is there a way of turning it back on? I want the
cleanest screen possible but when my reports open in preview the task bar is
visible. I am using a custom menu bar with a minimum of options. If I open
the report as a popup the task bar is not visible but the menu bar is also
not visible.

Tanx

If you put this code in a standard module, uou can call it from anywhere:


Function ShowToolBar()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.ShowToolBar "Form View", acToolbarYes
End Function

Function HideToolBar()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.ShowToolBar "Form View", acToolbarNo
End Function

Thanx - Your response was both super good and also super fast.

After further review -- I wanted to hide the Windows Taskbar - noy a toolbar.

I later found how to hide the Taskbar:

Open any report or form in design mode
Select Tools - Options - View
Then, unclick the "Windows in Taskbar" box
