Hi Steve.
Currently, I open my files as required in DE.
What may improve performance (?) is if I open all Tables in Startup program, and then on each form (somewhere) then use private data sessions, but without opening all the files again.
Do you know if this can be done and how ?


Regards,

Gerard
