Chris,

Thanks, but that still doesn't do it. This is part of a routine that creates a DBC and then adds free tables to it. The effect noted happens during debugging when the routine gets run over and over. If I did a CLOSE ALL instead of CLOSE DATABASES it works fine.

Nadya, the name of the DBC is not a reserved word. Any other ideas?

Thanks to both. Alex
