    Why when I have selected the form to show in taskbar, but the form will not appear in the taskbar when I run it ?

    And in Ado, we can have

    'rstCust!name'

    to access the name field. How can I pass the name field to a function local variable which substitude the statement above with that variable. Such as

    Private Sub A(name as string)
    Debug.print rstCust!name
    End Sub


    Thanks.

    That depend if you have changed borderstyle after you changed the form to show in taskbar, because it will reset if you put no borders or toolbox. I'm not sure if you mean name of an object or caption of a form or object or whatever but many of the standard controls have both a caption and name property, the name is readonly under runtime.
    Code:
    object.caption
    object.name

    I set the ControlBox property to False and the Caption property for the form to "". And the form to Fixed Dialog. Because I want to have a titlebarless form. Is this mean I can't have the program to appear in the taskbar by doing so ?
