Opening Multiple database's

[JKW]

Hi Al
I was using access 97 and could open multiple databases then use alt & tab to move around them. Now I am using office 2000 and when I try to open multiple database's it keeps closing the previous database. Can any one help it is driving me mad

All versions of Access allow only 1 database to be opened per instance. Just
add a shortcut to your desktop, or your application, to open another
instance of Access to the next database. You'll still be able to move around
them with Alt+Tab.

Hi:

Do not double click the mdb in Explorer -- you will have the problem you
mention.

Start new Access instnace (from Start menu) and then open database and it
works well.
