Some components - for example ReportBuilder can open database/tables leaving the connection active.

During my debugging run, when I found the error I was Resetting rather
than continuing to a normal Exit so, yes, the normal, orderly
disconnections would be skipped.  But I had mistakenly assumed the
Engine.StoreActive=False would take care of that by cascading any
disconnections when launching the next Debug run.

Maybe it needs a full Build for Engine.StoreActive=False to kick-in.
My debug run would probably only do a compile and that may be the key?

Are you setting StoreActive:=False at design-time or run-time ?  If at design-time, then you need to make sure that when switching projects that have *explicit* TEDBEngine components on forms/data modules that you make sure that the StoreActive property isn't getting set back to True by another project.

I am setting the property at design-time.  And all my projects with
explicit Engines have it set to False.
I just tried to replicate the issue to clarify it and .. I can't!
Ain't that the way!
If it crops up again I will attempt to establish the circumstances in
the light of what you say.
It is not a big deal as it hardly ever happens to me, and when it does
I know how to recover.  It's just that I don't understand why I need to.
