Access 2007 Windows menu option

[Ron Carr]

This seems silly but Help is not helpful: I want to view two tables side by
side. That was on the Windows button on the menu bar.
where is it now?
Thanks!!!

You get the windows option ONLY if you using "windows" in place of the new
tabbed interface.

So, if you want individual windows, then you need to go:

office button->access options->current database

you see two options:

[ ] Overlapping windows
[x] Tabbed Documents

change the above to overlapping windows.......

Now, you have separate windows. and, in the ribbon you see a ribbon group,
and that will have the familiar options like cascade, tile etc....

Keep in mind that if your window is maxed, then you still only see one...so,
use the cascade option, or click on the [] to un-max the window so you can
move them around and size to view many windows....

So, access 2007 gives you a choice like the new IE8 in which tabs are all
the rage.., but you can go back to the old way if you wish....
