Hello Mike, On startup, there are 45 free tables opened.

The full close takes too long, so that is the reason for the mini-close. -----Original Message----- From: profox-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profox-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions,LLC Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2011 11:20 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: Error 1104 On 9/7/2011 9:29 AM, Kent Belan wrote: > Hello Alan, > > Yes, all the EXE's are the same. > > I do that for sending emails.
