Applications such as Outlook allow multiple Contacts to be open at the same
time. Does Access support this paradigm? For example, can more than one
Contact, Invoice, etc, be open at the same time using the same form?

Best,

Yes.

Check Access (2002) VB Help tpic "Program with Class Modules".

Yes, you can.

Opening multiple instances is easy: just use the New keyword.

Managing the instances to they are independent of each other involves a bit
more. Details in:
