Well Thanks anyway, but that does not help our situation. Close all, clear all release all, NOTHING RETURNS THE MEMORY. I could live with the memory if it peaked and then just never let that go, but the next time I run the prg, it builds from where it stop the last Time. I've got 128 meg of memory, but two times thur and I'm all out. I can't beleive no one else has seen this.

>>I'm sure I've seem this but I can't seem to find any related threads. I got a prg, no com's, no objects, just code. Gets data from an AS400 into cursors. Everything works well but memory use climbs with each run and I can't get fox to turn it loose. I have to quit FOxpro in order to recover. Ran program in both 5 and 6, same results. Is there a work around or is it just me?
