I can only get 1 document window open at a time

[mpooley]

when I click on a document (class,form or module) in the solution explorer It replaces the document I have open. in other words
instead of leaving the original document in another tab the tab closes and is then replaced with the new document.
leaving only one tab not two IYSWIM

I have been using VB.net 2010 for sometime and this has never happened before !

I believe its my fault as i did go into ?
tools /options recently but i am blowed if i can find out what i might have altered
Also when i first open the solution no document is open which is not how it used to be either.

could someone help me please i have been trying to sort this out all morning.

thanks

Tools > Options : Environment > Documents : 'Reuse current document window, if saved'

From what I can tell there is no option that controls that, it is the default behaviour to re-open all windows that was open at the time solution was closed. This information is stored in the solution user options file (.suo). If you think that file has become corrupt you can delete it and a new one is automatically generated next time you open the solution.

Thanks
I tried that but it didn't help.
It happens on all my solutions so I guess it can't be just one corrupted file.
