If you're doing this in the ide, then that's just the way it is. If you have a dbc open in the ide, then using 'close data all' doesn't close it. If you run the app as a normal exe outside of the foxpro environment, it should work ok.

What should I do to really close all database, including those in the unknown session? or must I modify the current code to prevent them from falling into it?
