It doesn't matter how much memory is on the computer. VFP is only able to use 2 GB.

To test, you can evaluate the amount of memory free, open the form, then check again. Run some queries on the form, check again. Then open another instance of the form without closing the first. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

>In my VFP 9 application I have a form with many, many controls and many features. Currently a user can only create one instance of this form. When he/she clicks on the menu to open this form, the program checks if the form is already instantiated, and if so, simply restores it.
