    Toggle windows within Access


    In Access 2003, I could have multiple databases open, and multiple windows within each database open, and toggle between all of them using the handy little ALT-TAB shortcut.

    In Access 2010, the only way I have found to toggle between windows within Access is the F6 key. Is there any other way to get back to the ALT-TAB shortcut?

    That is a function of Windows and not Access and I just tested in Win7 and ac2010 and it works just fine.

    Yes, it is a Windows function. Nevertheless, after I installed Access 2010 the ALT-TAB shortcut lost some of its functionality.

    To be more specific, I used to be able to have multiple windows open in Access database A and multiple windows open in Access database B and use the ALT-TAB to toggle between any/all of those windows.

    Now, all I can do is toggle from database A to database B with the ALT-TAB shortcut, then use CNTL-F6 to toggle within the windows there.

    I'll continue to search the windows preferences to see if I can get it back.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
