The primary cause of the "Cannot Open Any More Databases" error is the exhaustion of available database connections, often due to an application or system misconfiguration. This can happen when multiple database files are opened simultaneously, or when a database connection is not properly closed after use, leading to a build-up of inactive connections. Additionally, if the system has limited memory or if there is a conflict with other software running on the computer, this issue can arise. The guide offers practical solutions, such as increasing the maximum number of allowable connections, closing unused database files, or optimizing the system's resource management, helping users resolve this error and restore normal database operations.
