Each time you run an Advanced Accounting 7 program a new "thread" is started. This means that each program runs independently of the others. The benefit of this is that you can start a report running and go back and enter a sales order, check on a customer, etc. All without interfering with the report that's working in the background.
To activate the menu click anywhere on the menu with the mouse.
