Hi Steve,

Seems strange that it is (only?) the .CDX that is causing the trouble here.
Do you have code that is specify and 'index' and is inadvertently referring to the cdx? I'm thinking of commands like USE with the INDEX and/or ORDER clause.

Another **GUESS** is that some SELECT is creating a "filtered result set" instead of a real cursor. I've had cases where explicitly closing the cursor-name didn't close it when it was a filtered result set.
Assuming your version supports it, try adding NOFILTER to your single-table select statements to see if that makes a difference.

Good luck
