Is the a way to get 2 Dreamweavers windows open at the same? It's kind of annoying to keep having to use the tabs to switch files. One on each monitor would be really nice.

Have you tried right clicking and opening in new window?

I've tried everything. I asked the same question on the dreamweaver forum, and it isn't possible unless you have two versions of dreamweaver installed.

You're right... it's not possible. Unless they've added this feature to CS3, but I'm not sure because I haven't used it yet.
But honestly, the tabs are great, why would you want 2 viewing windows? Because whatever it is you're doing, there may be another way to do it.

I want two programs open so I can have two documents side by side. I can do that if I stretch the whole dreamweaver window across two screens, but then it's awkward. With two programs open, I can have one program working on one set of files, say 5 tabs open, and the other program working on another set of files (5 tabs again). Then I don't have to click through 10 tabs to find the file I want to work on.

Hmm, my version doesn't have tabs, and I don't think I would like it either. What version are you using, Matt, so I can make sure I don't upgrade to it?

Macromedia Dreamweaver 8. Tabs only show up if you maximize the code/design window. If you have a bunch of files open and you don't have them maximized, you won't see tabs.

Yup - teammatt3 is right. I have DW 8 and the tabs only show id the pages are maximized. It is a pain to look at the different pages when they are tabbed and you cannot see them with different windows opened. Maybe they will get to that in the next version - that would be nice!

Right click on tab and select "open in new window".
does that work?

I don't see that option. I'm using CS3 now so maybe that only works in the other version.
