Project 2003 Standard -- Opening Projects

[Harley Quinn]

Is there anyway (setting or registry changes) to have it so that when I open
up more than one project at a time, it opens each in a seperate instance of
Project? I want to be able to see both plans on my 2 monitors at the same
time, rather than have to keep flipping back and forth, and "tiling" them
doesn't work very well since then I can only see a small part of the project
at a time.

Harley,
Project has always been a "one instance" application, unlike Excel. You
can open two plans on separate monitors if you have Project installed on
two PCs or virtual machines, although the latter may suffer loss of
performance.

As an alternate, have you tried creating a master project
(Insert/Project)? If you have two monitors connected to a single CPU,
you will be able to display each of the two subprojects on separate
monitors as different views of the master.

There is another way: I have Project 2003 and 2007 on my PC so I have two
instances if needed!
