Oh I definitely agree! I only use the tabbed windows for development - when the db is ready to field I turn off all tabs, and the user can only use buttons to perform tasks.

OK I've been using overlapping windows for a few hours, the interface is definitely consistent. I wouldn't have thought to switch over since the tabs had been working so well for me in 2010, Adapting to new versions of tools is a survival skill! Again, thanks for the help:)
