two forms open at once in MS Access 2010

How do I open two forms at once in MS Access 2010? The link above will show you how to do it, but on MS Access versionss before 2010.

It is dated 2007.

In that link it says

1. Open db
2. Click macros under objects
3. Click the new button. (It is here that I get confused since in the macros section of MS Access 2010 their is no new button).

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

the macros section of MS Access 2010 their is no new button

No but in your link the next line is

4. Click in the first Action cell and scroll to and select Open form.

which does exist and is perfectly visible in the macro window

And to be clear, you will find OpenForm, not Open form

Okay, but if there is no new macro, then where is the action cell? It is perfectly visible in the macro window, but we have no new macro.

since 2007 access assumes you are starting a new macro. If you want to open an existing one, you click on 'in this database' in the action catalog
