open status

[-= JB =-]

You are right it says dbRef.  But if the database has not
been opened how do you get a dbRef.  Is the dbRef the
number returned when a database gets opened.  If so
how do I check to see if database1 is opened and it has
not been opened yet.  It would not have a dbRef to use.
