Hi Ken, I have also experienced this problem. MapInfo has a limit of 13 tables open with unsaved changes. This has something to do with a limit that they put on the the number of open file handles.
If you commit some tables the problem will go away (until you reach the limit again). Possibly commit after every 12 tables have been modified (just to be safe). Hope this helps. - Sam -- ------------------------------------------ Samuel F. Huang Software Developer (R&D) Sterne Stackhouse Inc.

G'day I have a workspace with 2 windows and 71 tables open. It has been working fine, but now everytime I edit a table I get an error message telling me that it can't open the map (the active window) as I have too many files open. If I save the table after every edit the error message goes away, but this is not an efficent fix. I didn't have this problem a few days ago with the same number of tables open and I have closed and restarted MapInfo. Does anyone know a fix for this, or will I have to close some of the tables (I don't want to do this if I can help it). Is there a maximum limit to the number of Tables MapInfo will work with? I am using MapInfo 6.5 on Win2000 with 1Gb of memory. Any help would be much appreciated Cheers Ken Hickey ------------------------------------------------------------------ Kenneth Hickey Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences University of British Columbia 6339 Stores Rd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada phone +1-604-822-3765; Fax +1-604-822-6088 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 2265
