Geoff, Thank you for that suggestion, That seems to have unlocked it. There are some oddities jumping from one window to the other, but I could close the second window. On Fri, Feb 4, 2022 at 11:30 PM Geoff wrote: > Hi David > > From your new "blank" window, use the toolbar menu and choose: >

Using windows 11 (and probably 10) ver. 4.9, in the top menu there is an menu called WINDOWS. If you click on that menu and click the New Window with page option -- you will get two windows for the same account. This will get you the desired results I believe you want. Cheers! -- Ken
