>>>Files that could be opened simultaneously is determined by OS and config.sys setting. A fox table with a CDX counts for 2 handles, if it has memo 3 handles and so on. The simpliest solution is to close the indexed one and open a new table so you will use minimum handles and don't have to check each stations files count.

>What would it matter ? Both normally doesn't have that old dos limit. But if he's using a netware client software then probably files setting is at its default 40. Setting files a higher number in config.sys would eliminate the problem but should be done per station. Instead having the routine open one table per reindex is a better solution. George has already provided the sample code for that.

You set the FILES open in different places with NT as opposed to 95
