You could accomplish the same thing by allowing multiple instances of the same form in the app as long as you use private data sessions. As long as your app is designed for multi-user use [e.g., SET EXCLUSIVE OFF, etc.], there will be no problems. The primary concern is update conflicts when you have more than 1 user wanting to update the same record. You either do not allow it [the first user locks the record], the last user to save has the final say, or you develop a notification system to warn users that the record they are editing has had its data changed by another user and ask them what to do.

>I want to run the same application twice on a workstation. This will enable the operators to cut between different screens without losing their place on any screen. For example the operator may be in the middle of data entry on screen 1 when he gets a telephone call requiring data for screen 2. Is this possible and what potential problems are there?
