I don't need this question answered per se - it's not
affecting my program or anything - but I thought I'd
ask it anyway to add to the growing knowledge base in
the archives of this group. :-)

If you open a database, then do something inside the
database, then go to open it again, apparently it
causes no ill effects - I've done it.  But if it's
done repeatedly, are there any possible side effects
to doing it, as in chunk overlocking, etc?  Not
necessarily chunk overlocking per se, but some sort of
error that can come about?  What my program had been
doing was:

Main Screen: open database, give 3 options(enter,
edit, or view info)

3 options: enter, edit, or view info, then go back to
the main screen (without closing the database)

I recently realized, in a brilliant flash of 2am
logic, that I hadn't been closing the database, but
nothing had been happening - no error messages or
whatnot.  But, if I did it enough times, could
something theoretically happen?  Or does it just keep
doing stuff to the same variable, the same location in
memory, but not closing the database is just bad
programming style?
