How do I get rid of XP's MDI chaos? Re-post !!!

I develop applications in MS Access and sometimes I need to open 3 or 4
projects at once. So I have 3 or 4 items in taskbar menu for main projects.
When I open any object (form, report, form's class module, report's class
module, etc...) in any of the projects I get a new item in task list. So
when I open, say, 1 form and it's class module in each project I get CHAOS
in my task list - it's very difficult to switch to a correct object in
correct project; it takes some time to decide where I want to switch because
there are too many open objects. In Win 95/98 there was only one window for
each project plus I could easily switch to the "latest" object in any
project. "Latest" object means the one that I currently work with.

Is there any workaround to get rid of XP's MDI chaos? I really hate this
"feature". I think that this behaviour is common for all MDI applications.

As far as you can see there's real CHAOS!!! Grrrrrrrr.... :-(

TIA

P.S. Pls, excuse me for my poor English... :-/
