>Hello Foxperts,
>
>I'm working on a FPD2.5 app for a client, and while the thing runs fine on their office system (it was set up by someone else), I have problems running a copy of it on my Windows ME system here in a MSDOS prompt window running full screen.
>
>The error MESSSAGE() I'm getting is "Too many files open." ERROR() is 0, MESSAGE(1) is blank. PROGRAM() and LINENO() identify that it was trying to open a .DBF when it stopped.
>
>Are there some settings that I can tweak to increase the number of files that can be open?
>
>TIA,
