By default, do not let a new tab open if it is already open!

When working with modules like billing and print invoices, I find that since tabs can be left open, I seem to keep opening the same tab so I get duplicates instead of when I select a task, I would go to that task's open tab instead of PCMX opening a new one.

I realize that being able to open multiple like tabs can be helpful but not always. I have never seen a software program that does this. 

If I am inputting vendor invoices and need to open the vendor setup, I don't want to first check my open tabs to see if vendor setup is already open! I should be able to click on the vendor setup and IF the vendor setup is already open, PCMX will take me there.

    I think it would be better to have the software ask if you want to open another tab if there is one already open as there may be times when you want the same tab open twice.   For example you want are entering something that you haven't done for some time and want to go back and look at how you did it previously.
