Number of open Databases

[Dom]

I'm using VB (not VBA) and something quirky has come up.
At the end of the program, I started fooling around, and I
entered (in the immediate window) "?DAO.Workspaces
(0).Databses.count", and I found there were 13 Databases,
even though I only opened a single connection.

I checked the name of the databases and they were all the
same.

I ran the program again, and found there were 3 databases
opened.

Why does this count change, and what does the count mean?
