Access 2007 Windows configuration

[Jane]

I have two monitors and want to move open Access Objects to different
monitors . I know that when I open a code window I can move that to the
other monitor, but when I'm watching a process run I may want to have the
data table on one monitor and a parameter table on the other monitor. Do I
have to do this by having two different instances of the same application
open, or can I do it in one instance?

You cannot split two tables over two monitors. The VBA window is a seperate
windows and therefor moveable. So if you want to look at two tables at a time
in different screens you have to open two instances...

Don't maximize the Access application window.
Open Access on the Left monitor
Drag the right hand edge of the application window across onto the second monitor
Drag the top and bottom edges to maximize the area.

You can't maximize the application window. If you do it will maximize on one
monitor and disappear from the the other. When you then restore, the
application window will be displayed (split) between the two monitors again.
