MS Access 2003 opening multiple windows

I wasn't sure how to search for this so sorry if it's already been
posted. Here's the issue and it's more of an annoyance than
anything. Whenever I open an access database in Access 2003 (SP2) if
i open any tables, forms, etc it opens them in seperate windows
(there's a seperate button on the task bar for it if that makes
sense). The dbase still works however it's anoying. Any thoughts?

Go to Tools/Options on the menu bar. On the "View" tab uncheck
"Windows In Taskbar".

You can also call a function something like this when the database
opens:

Function TaskbarForms()
On Error Resume Next
Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsInTaskbar", False
End Function

Hope this helps.
