>Hi all. I have recently been troubled with an insufficient memory error in Foxpro 2.6. I am running the app on a Novell network. The form that generates the error is a fairly busy data entry form with a list box, several combo boxes, and spinners. It generates the error inconsistly at different times in the data entry process.

>This form is the only portion of the app that causes the error and it only surfaces on our newer Dell Pentium 133 machines with 32MB RAM. Other older machines have no problems with the app. I have played with the CONFIG.FPW's MEMLIMIT as well as unloading everything from memory in Windows.

This is a hardware problem, but not in the way you think. The Dell is running out of DOS 640K memory; FPW 2.6 is notorious for this. Every PC will have a different amount of lower memory available after loading the network drivers, etc. Try running MEMMAKER (or whatever your standard is) to free up more DOS memory.

I hate this problem; it's next to impossible to solve. Migrate to Visual FoxPro, for Pete's sake - it's the only answer.
