Remember that the problem with the open project is nothing new. You can also close the database in the project. If you close it once, it usually remains closed until you open it again. This means that the problem may sometimes appear, sometimes not. I think it has nothing to do with VFP7.

Perhaps you can use project hooks to close the database, but this would be quite slow, in my experience.

Why do you need to USE XXX.DBC every time you open your project?
