>I am having trouble with a project when trying to open an additional 50 or so tables. I am only getting the error on windows95 and windows 98 machines, Windows NT does not have a problem opening up the additional files, there are 59 tables open to start and I am trying to open and additional 31 tables and this is when i get the error.

Try changing the value set in CONFIG.SYS for FILES=; the largest allowable value under Win9x is 254, and the default value if none is specified is 'way too low, 30 or 40 as I remember. There's some slight cost per additional supported file handle in conventional memory use in each VDM you open, but unless you're running a DOS app that needs the absolute maximum amount of conventional memory possible, your Win9x environment should not be adversely affected.
