Access 2010-Viewing a table and a query side by side 1

[cmmsi]

When I open queries / tables in MS Access 2010, they open in tabs, and I have not been able to find a way to have them separate so I can see them side by side. I have even added the tile and window buttons to the quick access toolbar, but they do not work when the objects are displayed.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance, especially since this is probably a pretty minor issue.

Hi,

This is what works in my Access 2010:

Click on the File tab. Click Options. Click Current Database in the left-side window. Click the radio button for Overlapping Windows.

Hope it helps!


Best,
Blue Horizon

Most Excellent, Correct, and Timely. I love this place.

Yep, that's definitely something you have to get used to in 2007 and 2010. In some cases, I find myself changing the said option, but in other cases, I find the workflow seems to work better using the tabbed interface. But in your case of wanting to view them side by side, then yep, that's definitely the way to go.

By the way, being this is MS Access specific, we've got forums specifically for Access, so try to remember that going forward:
