Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).



SYMPTOMS
On some computers, you may see multiple database objects displayed on the Windows taskbar.



CAUSE
You have Microsoft Internet Explorer Active Desktop installed, and the Access option to display object windows in the taskbar is active.



MORE INFORMATION
This feature allows you to use the Windows taskbar to switch between database objects that are currently open. To turn this feature off or on, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab.
 * 2) Select or clear the Windows in Taskbar check box.

Although this option is still available if the Active Desktop is not installed, changing the state of the check box will have no effect.

To determine whether Microsoft Internet Explorer Active Desktop is installed on your computer, right-click your desktop. If Active Desktop appears on the shortcut menu, then it has been installed. If you do not have Microsoft Internet Explorer Active Desktop installed, you can still select the Windows in Taskbar check box, but the setting will have no effect.

Selecting or clearing the Windows in Taskbar check box does not affect taskbar switching behavior in other Microsoft Office applications.
