Make Access fully MDI

Although the UI of MS Access has been modernised with Office Fluent Ribbon, Access is not fully MDI - all the displayed objects - forms, tables etc.. still display within the current window. How about keeping up with Word and Excel programs, have the option for each object to display in a separate Window?

    Also, through custom VBAprogramming, you can open up multiple instances of a given Access form within a single running Access application.

    Did you try Options | Current Database | Document Window Options: Overlapping Windows selection option?

    Your request is already a reality. You can open multiple instances of MS Access and display different objects in each instance.
