Are you using Access 2007? If so, the default document windowing option is
to show forms and report previews in a tabbed view, which behaves as you
describe. If you click on the Office button, then click "Access Options",
then go to the Current Database tab of the options dialog, and change the
Document Window Settings to "Overlapping Windows", you should get the normal
windowed view.
