Yes, you'll have 100s of open files. No file are closed automatically when you leave a subroutine. > Is there a way to find out how many open files an application has? Yes, use SysInternals ProcessExplorer and other tool. See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx The command line tools "Handle" can do the same job at the command line level (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Handle.mspx).
