I recently got a new PC and re-installed Access 2002. While developing and
testing I prefer to see all of my open windows on the taskbar. However, even
though I have checked the "Windows in Taskbar" box under Tools -> Options ->
View, it's still grouping all open windows into one item on the taskbar. My
new machine is running Windows XP Media Edition.

Anybody have any ideas why this is happening and how to get it back to the
way I prefer, with each open window shown separately?

Thanks,

Steve

I think you can use:
Application.SetOption "Show Windows in Taskbar", False (or True)

...though I haven't actually tried it that way in code.

You could set this in the startup of some program, though the setting
OTHERWISE stays set for the installation of Access and doesn't travel with a
program.

I can set it with my installation of A2002 OK. I note the help (focus on the
option and press F1) does say "you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer
Active Desktop", but I thought that was pretty standard.

If you ask me, I HATE that option. Oh, you didn't ask? :-)
