SUMMARY
Page 673 of the &quot;Microsoft Basic 7.0: Language Reference&quot; (under the &quot;Too many files&quot; error in Appendix D) incorrectly states that ISAM is limited to opening 12 databases at once.

This should be corrected to read as follows:

At run time, the &quot;Too many files&quot; error may occur because:

ISAM has a limit to the number of databases and tables that can be open at one time and your program has exceeded this limit. The maximum number of database files that you can have open at once is four. Also, the maximum number of tables that you can have open at once is 13 tables in one database file, or 10 tables in 2 database files, or 7 tables in 3 database files, or 4 tables in 4 database files.

This information applies to Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS and 7.10 for MS OS/2.
