My rules of thumb, which will probably fit your requirements quite well (same industry, strong strain of code still wrtitten in/for 2.6) is to set minumum at 32 MB and to grow less than linear with the installed RAM. If you have sections where you have strong SQL use on big tables, consider enhancing / decreasing memory around those spots. Another idea is to keep percentagewise more memory in sys(3050, 2) if the app itself is often calling out to other processes like acrobat or even other apps. Since it is to be expected, that those processes are intertwined and if the machine is "beefy" enough to call one other app with more memory supplied to background vfp, this gives you a snappier exchange.

A *wonderful* chance spend a week with testing - and be certain that "somebody important" has a use case NOT fitting your hard found settings <g>.
