I have a PC that runs a lot of MS-Acess databases at night to produce certain reports. The server used to run XP. Whenever a database had a problem, like a query failed for some reason, I could always see MS-Access open and running on the screen the next morning. It would be stopped at the point of error and I could then trouble shoot it. Since I upgraded to Vista the databases now run in the background and all I see is a task running under Task Manager. No I do not have the "Hidden" option checked in the task properties. How can I get Vista to run the task in the foreground so I can trouble shoot problems with certain programs.
