The "issue" is that VFP has a problem handling all of the
memory available to it in an NT environment. Consequently when
running commands that act on a table enmasse (SQL SELECT, DELETE FOR,
COUNT FOR, etc), VFP will eventually stop responding.

You have to limit foreground and background in order to avoid this
problem.

My question was does this problem still exist in VFP 6.0

Yeah, I thought the same thing. It would be nice if
that's all there were to it
