[GIS] how to open several MXD files at the same time ( within the same window )in Arcgis10

arcgis-10.0arcgis-desktopmxd

I have a simple question. How can I open several MXD files at the same time in Arcgis 10?
Whenever I try to open the second MXD file Arcgis asks me to save the first MXD file and then it closes it and opens the second one. How can I have these two MXD files open at the same time?

If you are referring to opening multiple mxd's within the same window, this isn't possible. You can open multiple mxds at once thought the windows explorer though. (This is what I would usually do if I needed multiple sessions)

  1. Select the mxds you require within the folder (ie Folder, Desktop, My Computer, etc.)
  2. Then the Enter Key

This should boot up all the mxds at once.
