I have an Access 2003 DB that is deplyed in my office w/ the full Access
2003 program. Users are able to open multiple forms in the same db and they
all display in the task bar and can be opened in separate windows. This is
useful as it allows them to use different forms in the db at the same time.
I am attempting to deploy the same DB to clients just using the run time
version of Access 2003. These users do not get this multiple window option.
Does anybody know if this feature can be enabled in Access 2003 runtime?

Thanks in advance!
 
I note this feature (Options, General, Windows in Taskbar) is disabled in
A2002 Runtime, so it probably is in A2003 Runtime.

If you have the option set in full Access, and simulating runtime with the
/Runtime switch causes it to be disabled, then it would seem to be a fact.

I didn't think many people liked that option anyway. Actually it doesn't make
any difference to Windows operations at all; it's identical to switching forms
via the "Window" menu. (You could argue that Windows in Taskbar is easier
perhaps)
