The ideal setup configuration is:

Files = 80
Buffers = 65

>Is there anyway to increase the default number of files VFP5 can open. I have applications which open about 150 tables, some in a container some not most machines open then fine.

>But on the odd one I get "to many files open", I ran a little Micky Mouse app which managed to open 2000 tables with no problem so I dont understand how I am getting this problem.

>Done all the obvious, FILES=250 in config.sys etc. We are mostly talking PII 300Mhz Win 95 or very sim specs.
