>[ and GMRIDER added: ] So far, in my world, I open all libraries and such at the beginning of my applications. I've always looked at it as a convenience and performance thing - convenience for me (they are always open and available) and on the performance issue, I would rather take the performance hit at the beginning of the application. You know, takes forever to startup but once it is running, it runs like a bat out of hell...
