Running multiple instances or sessions of Filemaker Pro 6 to allow connecting to same network database twice

Hi - I have Filemaker Pro 6 on my PC and I connect to a network database (which uses Filemaker Server 5.5 on Windows 2000 Server). I want to be able to connect to this network database with two distinct sessions (on the same PC) so that I can be in two different places in the program at the same time and flick between them quickly. Is this possible? Does anyone know a way to achieve it? Thanks in advance.

FM 5.0 and 5.5 are also compatible, so you could run one of those if you have a copy.
