Is Folder Open By Richard Rost ![]() ![]() Check if a Folder is Open Before Opening in Access In this Microsoft Access tutorial, we will learn how to efficiently detect if a folder is already open to avoid cluttering with multiple copies of the same folder. I'll guide you through creating a custom function to return a true or false value when checking if a specific folder is open. Using the AppActivate command, we can activate an open folder instead of repeatedly opening new ones. Additionally, you'll learn how to adjust your Windows settings to display the full folder path in the title bar, essential for distinguishing between folders with similar names. Samantha from Riverside, California (a Platinum Member) asks: How can I check if a folder is already open in Microsoft Access before trying to open it again? I keep accidentally opening multiple copies of the same folder and it's getting really messy. Is there a way to detect if it's open so I don't end up with a bunch of duplicate windows?
