Developing in Access XP

[Sean Jackson]

Hi all,
I have been developing in Access 97 for a while now and now am starting to
use XP. The problem is, when i'm running my app in XP, if I go into
design view in XP then it closes all the other forms down so that when my
code tries to reference a form it crashes... Surely this can be turned off
somewhere, Does anyone know the answer. Access 97 allowed me to run
and debug and develop ALL while the other forms were running.

Any ideas???

You can no longer develop on a system that is also in use. Development
requires exclusive use of the database. Other forms can be open, but only on
your own machine. If you've properly split the database so that each user
has the front-end on their workstation, this should not be a problem except
when making design changes to the tables on the server.
