That is the direction I was thinking.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Collecting data from an Access DB


The attached table definition is global,  but each session still has  
to connect to thier ODBC source each time it starts up.

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.
