Startup property doesn't work

[Norm]

Hi,

In the Startup properties dialog, I unchecked the Display Database Window.
When I open my file, the database window doesn't automatically open but it
is in an icon on my windows toolbar. If I click on the database window
icon, it then opens in my main applicatoin window.

I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong. At one point this was working
correctly. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Norm

Simple solution is to unclear the box:
Tools | Options | View | Windows in Taskbar

You may like to check that you have the latest service pack for your version
of Office. In Access 2002, for example, this issue was address in Service
Pack 1 (from memory).

Thank you! I uncleared that option and it worked. I'll next look for the
service pack.

Much appreciated,
