MI List I run MI version 6 under NT In running my interactive Mapbasic application It comes up with error messages like :- (APPNAME.MB 9999) Unable to open FNAME.ID. Too many files open. The program location and the filename vary depending on the order of the interactive actions. The occurence seemed to be greater under version 6 than Version 5.5. With some recent necesary changes to the application the Error has now become a Brick Wall I have attempted to be more frugal with the use of files (around 48 tabs) All files are on my C drive with some 467 mb free The application uses selection & win change handlers and also writes to the cosmetic layer. Is there some setting to expand the limit or another ideas Please Thanks Brian Chester -----Original Message----- From: Scaramella, Brandi -- Tt, Inc.

Thought it would be an easy answer??!! Looked through as many old archive files as I could, but came up with nothing. One of my colleagues asked if I was accessing any of the layers over a network. I was with this particular workspace since there were so many and so large. They suggested moving all the files to my local machine's hardrive if I had the space. It worked. Maybe this is your situation and hopefully can help. If not post the question again, I look forward to getting a real answer in case it happens again.

Hi List, Just upgraded to 6.0 and needed to know how I can increase the number of files I can open in one workspace. There are 74 tables to open in my .wor file. It used to work on my 5.5 with no problems, now it stops towards the end of opening the workspace with the error " too many files open..... can not finish opening....." I think I remember being able to increase the number in regedit somewhere??? Any help would be very much appreciated. Sincerely, Brandi Scaramella GIS Technician Tetra Tech, Inc.
