Rob, 1. If you set up multiple user accounts on your machine, each user may run AB simultaneously, with user specific layouts. I have not done extensive testing to see exactly how complete the separation is. But, you can certainly have different windows open. Refer to the setup instructions of IO (in Files section of this group) to see how to create the accounts. If using Windows XP, running as a different user is as simple as right clicking on the desktop icon and selecting Run as...
2. I'll leave this to someone that's tried. 3. Last write wins. Whichever instance writes to the database last will have its data preserved. You might want to ask Tomasz in a follow up as to what exactly that means with respect to the original data, AmiBroker's version of the data, etc. (e.g. when using a read only plug-in).
