   Well this explanation may be wrong (I often am) but I think this is the   
   correct way to look at it:   
   The issue is that there is only a single table that your TC's are   
   pointing to.  They are all essentially pointers, I guess, to a   
   particular record.  Attaching one tc to another is nearly instantaneous.   
     I've done test on this vs open and attaching is much faster.  Once   
   attached the TC's are separate in that they can point to different   
   records.  By separate I mean they can't act as pointers or by reference.   
   The only difference logic-wise between attaching and opening is that an   
   attached tc gets all the ranges/filters and current record and record   
   status of the existing tc.
