>If the FPW26 application is not running in the server memory space, how does the network consultant explain his or her assertion that it is causing a memory leak on the server? If there is a memory leak, it would affect the workstations in whose memory space the executable runs, not the file server.
Yep, that was my first thought as well.
>I spent a number of years supporting a FPW26 application that synched data bi-directionally between a home office and fifteen regional offices 24x7. The vast majority of crashes were the result of lost connectivity over the WAN (1104 - Error reading file). I don't recall ever running the host machine (a high end Dell workstation hooked directly to the fidde backplane) out of memory and I'm not aware of of the application crashing any of the seventeen servers on which the data lived. I suspect that if there are memory leaks in FPW26, a constantly running application would find them.
Ok, excellent info. Thanks Jim.
