You cannot run two instances of Legacy. However, you can have more than one
database open, at least in the Deluxe version. There may be an icon in your
toolbar that looks likes two family views, if not add it. Clicking that
icon opens up a new view and then a dialog that asks whether you want a
different database in the new view. Alternatively, select "Split Screen
View" from the View menu.
I also use this routinely with the same database in both views either with
a different family in each view or Family View in one, Pedigree, Index or
Descendent view in the other.
I've had as many as six views open. On subsequent views, you may not be
prompted for new database or not, but you can do a file open on any of the
views.

I am trying to have two sessions of Legacy running at the same time, each
with a different database. When I try to open the second session, nothing
happens. If I open a second database in the current session, the first
database is closed, and when I go to reopen it, the database opens with
the previously set opening name. Is there any way to have two sessions
running simultaneously? Any help would be appreciated.
