MSDE: Best way to handle connections

I am writing an app using MSDE for the first time.

One limitation that had been identified is that MSDE performance is reduced after 5 concurrent connections.

Looking through Tek-Tips I am reassured to see this is 5 concurrent executions, not necessarily connections and can be well managed with effective coding.

I have not come across and tips on suitable efficient coding methods that would maintain MSDE performance.

For example I have a screen with a flexgrid connected to a recordset based on a stored procedure. Everytime this grid needs to be refreshed due to record changes I had, in order to promote MSDE performance :
- opened the recordset
- redraw the grid
- close the recordset.

My understanding is that I could keep the recordset connection open without effecting MSDE performance and just refresh it as required.

Does anyone have any other thoughts.

Many thanks in advance
