SUMMARY
Microsoft Team Manager is a Single Document Interface (SDI) application. This means it can open only one file at a time.

It is possible to run multiple instances of Microsoft Team Manager and Team Status. However, a specific team file can only be opened by one Microsoft Team Manager instance; other Microsoft Team Manager instances cannot open the same team file. The Team Status viewer, however, can open a team file that is already open in another instance of Team Status or Microsoft Team Manager.



MORE INFORMATION
Before a different file can be created or opened (by using, for example, the New or Open commands on the File menu), Microsoft Team Manager closes the active team file and displays the "...save change...?" message if appropriate. Because only one team file can be open at a time, there is no Window menu.

It is also not possible to have Microsoft Team Manager running visibly without having a team file open or in the process of being opened. When Microsoft Team Manager starts up, it displays a dialog box that forces you to create a new team file or open an existing one. For the Team Status viewer, the Create options are disabled.

NOTE: It is possible to run an invisible instance using Visual Basic for Applications that has no file open, but the only commands it understands are New and Open.
