>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?

I think you could do that without any problem. The main consideration is available RAM. Otherwise, the two instances work like to independent users.
I do it now and then, and didn't encounter any problems. Separate forms, or instances of the same form, in the same application (which I also use) will sometimes cause you more trouble, because they are not really independent in all respects. But you should consider this option anyway, in the long run.
