May be there is some code in form's class Load, that changes environment settings, that, in turn, affects the opening of the tables...

BTW, what title did you mean for your thread?

>Ok this is strange. I have an application the uses a couple of form that open a fair quantity of tables. 12 - 15 depending on the form, some of these are also views.
