You can't leave dbfs open between page instances when using VFP COM objects so I don't think this is a real big issue.

>In addition, if you are going to use direct access to VFP tables, you may find speed issues with opening and closing tables on every call. If you leave the tables open, make sure the COM server is on the same machine as the data since Windows only allows about 2000 file handles open across the network. If you have 20 file handles per instance (you probably will use more), you can only support 100 instances and then you'll get a nasty crash and will eventually find that an obscure message was written to the event log in NT.
