I think we can safely agree that Windows not restricting you (as in send you an error) from doing something does not necessarily correlate to doing something correctly. >IE does it when you "open >new window", Word does it per document IIRC, and there are other examples. IE 6, on my systems, "open new window" runs in separate processes (there's no setting for that anymore). Both my versions of Word and Excel (2000, 2003) do not increase the number of threads it creates new document windows. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
