Each time a session connects to the ODBC database, it holds file handles on it open. This may or may not cause problems in the long term. My practice is to SConnect, retrieve data, then SDisconnect, "on the fly" so to speak. No need to have several work stations acessing the file(s) for long periods of time when you need them only for seconds. I believe it reduces the chance for problems and theoretically should use less resources.
