>You have to explicitly close the tables.

Thanks, Craig. Tell me, what if you do the following:
- in one ASP page say: oMyVFPObject=Server.Createobject(etc.etc)
- in its INIT, oMyVFPObject opens MyData.DBF with something like: USE MyData ALIAS MyAlias
- that ASP page completes and the object is destroyed, but table is not explicitly closed by my VFP code
- then try and do those same steps all over again... will you get an error like "Alias name is already in use" or something like that... in other words, the table stays opened by the DLL across all instances of objects born out of that server?

Also, what if you put a QUIT command in an in-process MT VFP DLL?
