In the list of drives, right-click the drive that you think might contain the database, and click Search. Since the search was initiated from the Open dialog box, you must click Cancel in that dialog box before the database will open. Access automatically creates a new Access database in the same folder as the data file and adds links to each table in the external database. To open one of the last several databases you had open, click the file name in the Recent list on the getting started page.
Access opens the database with the same option settings it had the last time you opened it. If the list of recently used files is not displayed:. Under Display , type a number in the Show this number of Recent Databases box. In a single instance of Access, you can have only one database open at a time.
In other words, you cannot start Access, open one database, and then open another database without closing the first database. However, you can run multiple instances of Access at the same time, each with a database open in it.
Each time you start Access, you open a new instance of it. For example, to have two Access databases open at the same time, start Access and open the first Access database, and then start a new instance of Access and open the second database.
Note: The number of instances of Access that you can run at the same time is limited by how much memory is available. Available memory depends on how much RAM your computer has and how much memory is being used by the other programs running at the time.
Each instance of Access runs in a separate window. If you have more than one instance of Access running and you want to view them simultaneously, you can tile the windows. You can create a desktop shortcut to open an Access database object for example, a form or report. The database may be stored locally on your computer, remotely on a network file server, or in a shared directory.
Resize the Access window and minimize any other open windows so that you can see the desktop behind the Access window. Drag the object from the Navigation Pane to the desktop. When you release the mouse button, the shortcut is created on the desktop. If you want the shortcut in a location other than the desktop, use Windows Explorer to move the shortcut to the location you want.
When you double-click the shortcut, Access opens the database in which the object is stored and displays the object. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. Download Microsoft Edge More info.
