This is indeed a bug and there's no fix for it. Other solution i heard for
this problem is to use a timer, do the action (transfer) and after the
transfer hide the navepane via code again.

It's a workaround not a solution bu maybe it points you to a tem solution.

I have a runtime/accde app to be distributed to users that can't have access

reappears during app startup. Found out using docmd.transferdatabase acLink
is the culprit.

1) does MS know about this and 2) what's the fix if I want to re-create
table connections during startup behind the scenes?
