Need a little help with this.

I think what has probably happened is I have added some form or menu to my application that is "exhausting the heap memory".
I am trying to find out which part that is? - It happens at customer sites that use the system alot, opening and closing all kinds forms and menus all over the place.

So, I need to know if there is a way within VFP to extract the amount of Heap memory and hopefully Release it.
The SYS(3050) you mentioned talks about Foreground / background memory.
So, is SYS(3050)'s "Foreground" memory the same as the "Heap" memory ?

Best solution would be to find a way to fix this Globally in VFP environment so that it somehow releases the Heap memory it has been hoarding ?

The next best solution would be to have a way to Monitor the Heap memory usage externally, on customer machines to see which operation specifically causes the Heap memory hoardhing by VFP. But so far,

1) The article in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957235#appliesto link says;
Problem only occurs if you have a popup with > 40 bars, and a bar over 40 has a popup associated
** But I don't have a menu bar with 51 bars. That would be a very unusual application!

2) Tried to install Microsoft's heapMonitor (dheapmon.exe), found a website that had it updated for Win7
http://blog.airesoft.co.uk/2009/10/desktop-heap-monitor-vista-7/
Followed instructions to the T, but it it hungup my win7 system. Head to cold boot.

Trying to work around this known VFP Bug that has been there supposedly sinceVFP7. So, any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
