I did a test and found it does work.

Check the methodology of my other post if you like. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.


>As far as I know CLEAR DLLs only removes the name table that maps FoxPro's ability to call the DLL entry points in memory and unload the module (the DLL) code that it occupies. None of the allocated memory will be part of that since it runs inside of VFP's address space.
