Hi all,

For some strange reason, people here want to open 60 files at a time
from a DBase application. The code they produced works fine when the files
are all on a local drive, but stops with an error after 40 files (give or
take) when the files are on a Novell 2.15 server.

The maximum number of open files is 250 on the server. When this stuff runs,
the actual number of open files gets up to approx. 100, so this is not the
problem.

Am I missing something obvious?
