Do you have your users rely on the windows taskbar to manage/navigate
between the forms they have open, or do you provide another (more
robust) method? Does anyone use a custom navigation system (like
keeping a selectable list of open forms in a listbox/commandbar/
breadcrumb trail etc.)?

I used one that was written by Dev Ashish, but damned if I can find a
link to it anymore. It requires placing a 'Window' menu item on a
custom toolbar and it adds open forms and reports to it when you click
on it.
Perhaps someone out there knows where it's hidden, otherwise I'll look
for it when I get home.

How did you implement it? The code as-is requires that form open and
close events call a function ('UpdateMenu') that iterates through open
windows in the MDI client area and populates a menu bar; in order to
do this, it makes use of Terry Kreft's MDIWindowsZ() function, which
gets the "Z order of open non-modal Forms". Unfortunately, this
function will only return windows having a window style of visible; in
my Access 2003, all the form open events (open/load/resize/activate/
current) occur before the window is actually visible, so each form
fails the test and is not included in the list that populates the
menu.
Here is the code:
strClassName = fGetClassName(h WndChildAfter)
lngStyle = apiGetWindowLon g(hWndChildAfte r, mcGWLSTYLE)
If (strClassName = "OForm" Or strClassName = "OReport") And
(lngStyle And mcWSVISIBLE) Then
.. add to the list
I can make the code work if I remove the '(lngStyle And mcWSVISIBLE) '
check, but my production database makes use of hidden forms for saving
state information, so that workaround is not viable.
Am I going to have to coopt the event handlers of some object on each
form that isn't loaded until after the form is visible? That seems
quite hack-ish.
Any help would be appreciated.

My apologies. It seems that simply setting the form's Visible
property to True, in any of the Load events, before the call to
UpdateMenu, works (and vice-versa for the Close events).
Now that's one ugly hack.

I haven't looked at what you got, but the one I used enumerated the
forms/reports and added them to the menu when you clicked on the
'Windows' menuitem that you create in a custom toolbar. Opening the
forms has nothing to do with it in my version. Are you sure you read
through it properly?

I guess it was different code (or the same, modified).
Did your users notice a delay when clicking that 'Windows' menu item?
I wonder if it's faster to have it populated on form open/close
events, or when the menu item is selected?
I can send you the one I have. I don't think it will paste properly
into a reply.
I've never noticed any speed issues, but most things I've done with
it, users would rarely have more than 10 windows open at a time.

Would you? I'll test the speed in my app. I really don't want to
have to go and add code to every one of 50 or so forms' onload and
onclose events ;)

I'm trying to open/navigate to a url. How can I tell when the page is

page is completely loaded and displayed. Likewise, window.navigate.
The code looks something like this:

We are happy with the result of smart navigate, until recently some of our
webpage shows strange behavior. Page color may change to something else. New
windows can not open. Dynamic image can not be shown.
If we remove smart navigate, everything works fine.
Is there some document list the conditions we should not use smart navigate?
Thanks,

There seemed to be two techniques for earlier versions. But the
