>>>Thnks Borislav, I thought so! I like the second aproach better. I was looking for the DBName property on my CA, go figure! LOL i got your idea. right know I just modify the app to build the connection string and use a global connection,

It depends how you use them. If you add them as a properties of the form they will be released after the form is closed.
If the form uses a Private datasession and you opened that CAs there they will be closed.
