## Closing a database

VisIt allows you to close a database that has been previously opened by selecting a database from the list of databases in the Close file menu, which is an option in the Advanced file options menu. Only databases that are not used by any plots can be closed. If you attempt to close a database that is being used by at least one plot, VisIt will issue an error message. The Close file menu is disabled if there are no open databases.
