>As 32-bit application VFP cannot address more that 2GB of memory. It obviously can use more than 10MB of memory you mentioned. The SYS(3050) controls how much memory VFP can use for the buffer memory (cache). The rest of memory VFP allocates dynamicaly when it needs it.
Well, on one hand you're right, on the other hand one should consider that VFP is not a typical application environment. VFP has the unique ability to flush its data chaches to disk automatically and getting it out of the address space which has a 2GB limit. Therefore a single application could work easily way beyond the 2GB of data without having to exlicitely having to deal with this.
Personally I've never seen a VFP app take more than several 100MB, and even then this was because of the use of using a crystal reports component rendering a large report.
