title: How to hide MS Access parent MDI window, yet still show the Windows Taskbar reference?
body: <p>I have utlized the User32 library from MS Access in VBA to Hide the MDI window:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Global Const SW_HIDE = 0
  Global Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
  Global Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
  Global Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
  
  ' Windows User32 Library reference to modify the window by one of the above commands
  Private Declare Function apiShowWindow Lib "User32" Alias "ShowWindow" _
   (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At the appropriate point in my application I have triggered a call to this function effectively hiding the application while specific forms are set with <code>Modal = True</code> and <code>Popup = True</code> to have them show through the hidden parent MDI window. </p>
  
  <p>This works great! However, I would like to still have a reference on the windows Taskbar for the open instance of MS Access:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/WIPqY.png" alt="Windows Taskbar"></p>
  
  <p>This functionality went away once I hid the parent MDI window. Previously the user could click on this reference order to bring focus back to the respective open form.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? Is there a User32 Library reference or parameter which could be passed into the <code>apiShowWindow</code> method to have this occur?</p>
