Open FLEx while Proj is Active in PT9

Question

Is it possible to open FLEx while the FLEx project is linked to the current PT9 project?
It fails to open, but when I look up a word in PT9, it gives me the option to open the lexicon.

I get the following message when I try to open a FLEx database that is linked to my open Paratext project: FieldWorks cannot open the project Kekchi_Sedat because another program is using it. Please close the other program and try again. Note: this can sometimes occur when there appears to be no other program using the file. The simplest way to fix this is to log off and on again. Other options are discussed in Help.

I rebooted WIN10, opened PT9 with project linked to a flex project and got the error that it is already open.

That’s probably more of a question for the FLEx team, but I thought you could have both open at the same time.
