An Access database can create up to 255 simltaneous connections to local & linked tables.

However, if a large number of connections are left open, the performance of the application will deteriorate & eventually it may crash with a message: 'Cannot open any more tables' or 'Cannot open any more databases'.  

 

This utility can be used to monitor the number of open databases/tables that can be created before these errors appear.
