Hi! I am running a Perl script on Windows 2000 Professional; this script creates 25 workbooks with approx. 20 spreadsheets in each. If I increase the numbers of spreadsheets for each file (let's say to 22), then the script bombs giving a Perl error message. It is my understanding that Perl creates one temp file for every workbook and every worksheet it creates before writing the data to the files themselves. It turns out that another Perl script tells me that my system can have only 510 open files simultaneously; by adding a couple of spreadsheets to each of the workbooks, I would need somewhere around 550 - 575 open files simultaneously. How and where do I change the 510 value?

Thank you very much for your help.

Rob.
