>I have read that the default Novell client allows up to 170 file handles. Would that mean 170 files open at the same time, or 170 open throughout the execution of the app. If a file is open and then closed, is the file handle released?

It means 170 files open at the same time, but remember that Foxpro opens temp files and those (as far as I know) are included in the total.
If a file is closed the file handle is released.
