I found that only 3 applications were affected and simple change of opening "Description" table in buffering 5 mode fixed the problem. I have OpenTble function, so all I had to do was adding last parameter 5 in form's Load in these three applications, so it took me ~1min. to fix all three.

Another story, how long does it take to understand the source of the problem!!!!!! :)
