Have two databases open at one time?

I want to have two databases open at the same time. How can I do this?

Someone created a contact database and listed contacts within it. I didn't
like the database, so I created my own. Now I want to copy and paste the
contact data (names, addresses) from the first database into my new database.
How can I do this so that I don't have to re-type the data someone already
typed in the first database?

It's not necessary to have both open.

Just import the tables.
Open your new database only.
Click File + Get External data + Import.
Navigate to the database. Select the table(s).
Click on Options and choose Definition and Data.
Also import the Relationships if necessary.
Click OK and the tables will be added to your new database.
