Changing the Windows in Taskbar View

How to change multiple object icons to just one Access icon that represents the database.

Q:  Sally Q. writes:  “I am using Access 2002/Windows 2000, and instead of a single Access icon on the taskbar, I see several different icons, apparently representing every open object in the database.  This is confusing.  How can I just have one icon representing the database?”

A:  Open the Options dialog from the Tools menu, and uncheck the Windows in Taskbar checkbox on the View tab.  Note:  If you have Windows XP, the multiple windows may be placed on a little shortcut menu attached to the Access icon.
