Thanks Helen,

i'll switch to using connect instead of open and will let you know
what happens. looking at the source, Open is just a call to
Connect, so i'm not too hopeful.

FYI, this week i have seen the same problem in another app that uses
the same datamodule. Still have not seen it in another datamodule,
and am failry confident i havn't seen it outside of delphi, so i'm
still wondering about the delphi debugger (or how my code could
possibly interfere with it!)

cheers.
