Aubrey,

This certainly should work. Are you actually opening the views at the same time rather than opening one, closing it, then opening another? If you do that VFP will drop one connection and open another.

Did you check the ShareConnect for all of the views? If one is set to share and the other isn't, the connection won't be shared.

You're right that you should only get one connection as long as all the views are using the same connection in your dbc, you open all the views at once, and they're all set to share connections.
