Need to have two projects open at once. Help please

[Tim_Ver]

I have MS Project version 2003 Standard running on XP. I want to know how
I can have to windows open of it at the sametime. I am using a laptop and
monitor with extendend desktop and I need to see two projects at once. One
done and a new one"blank". How do I do this. I have tried and it just opens
in the same frame. Arghhhh

Help please

Tim,

I don't think this is a project issue. You may want to check your monitor
or gfx settings to allow it. It is possible, I have seen it although I have
never used it.

Tim,

Have you tried :
Windows / New Window

Yes and it stays in the same window of MS project.

Is there anyway to get one project out of the MS project frame window "main"?
I would like to have one on the laptop screen and one on the monitor. The way
you said above does do a split but I need to have one on each monitor.

Thanks

You can't open two sessions of MS project at once !

One copy of Microsoft Project will open only ONE MS Project window, sorry.

On my setup I can span both monitors and adjust the size of each window to
fill each screen. But, as Gerard has said, you cannot hve 2 instances of
Project open at once.

As others have pointed out you can't have two instances of Project
running at once but you CAN have multiple files open concurrently, each
in its own window.

I just checked with a colleague who has 2 project windows open on different
screens. He has 2 versions of project on his machine, albeit one is MSP2000
and the other is MSP2003. Sorry to mislead but I knew I had seen it in the
fashion you wanted.
