>Has anyone noticed that there is no way of totally freeing up memory after instantiating a class then removing it? I have a system which receives data over a telephone network. In a "good" day I may receive over 10000 events. In the 'old' days (FP2.x) I would use numerous memvars and save events to files. Now I instantiate an object and populate properties of the object before storing interpreted results. Problem is every time I CREATEOBJECT() or AddObject() I loose memory according to SYS(1016). Soon my app slows to a crawl. I am, BTW removing the object RemoveObject() or releasing the reference to it.

Have you tried RELEASE MyClassInstance?
