They are going to be methods in a public-scope "data activity object" class that I am instantiating at app startup. So I'd call TOpen() instead of using VFP's use command. Everything is happening on the local box (no shared network access). I just wanted to be sure I got the table open properly (in case I already have it open elsewhere, etc).

What would you recommend in the Destroy() event to get every table tableupdate()'d etc?
