Pop-up Blockers
These can sometimes keep you out of a database. Some browsers have pop-up blockers. They can also be found in some toolbars you download from websites such as Yahoo, Google, and others. If you try to access a database and get a message about pop-ups being blocked, first check your browser setting:
IE 8:
- Click Tools in the top menu bar
- Mouse over Pop-up Blocker
- If you see Turn Off Pop-up Blocker, click it
IE (earlier versions):
- Click Tools in the top menu bar
- Click Internet Options

Chrome:

For the various downloaded toolbars, look for the settings or preferences menu. If the toolbar includes a pop-up blocker, you should see a place to turn it off.
