Steve, Could you try something? Save your main file and create a test file by opening one of the templates. Save the test file, and then drag it into the taskbar. Drag your regular datafile into the taskbar as well. (It wouldn't hurt to make a copy, just in case). If you do that, and if you have allow multiple instances checked, do you get two copies of MLO by clicking on each? On Feb 8, 2013 9:01 AM, "Lisa Stroyan" <lstro...@gmail.com> wrote:
