Kevin,

16 meg should be sufficient for a VFP app. I've found that Windows peer-to-peer netwoking is highly unreliable for database applications. It's especially bad when you're running the application on the "server" machine. I would highly recommend getting a Netware or NT server.

>At my client's office I have a simple 1 database VFP cumstomer application on a Win98 300Mhz machine with 64Megs RAM. There are 3 other Win95 machines running the program and sharing the databases over the peer to peer network. The Win95 machines are only running 16 Megs of RAM.

>When anyone starts adding or doing query's on the Win95 machines program locks up or generates various errors. I checked the network cables and they are all fine. I'm starting to think this is a memory problem on the Win95 machines. Is 16 megs simply not enough for VFP apps.?
