Hi Paul --

FoxPro 2.0 DOS extended is different than FoxPro 2.5 DOS extended. I need some type of memory manager to emulate expanded memory. If memory serves me correct, I don’t believe that 2.0 can use extended memory.

That's correct ... 2.0 needed expanded memory. I don't know why EMM386 is not working for you, but I will say that I ran into some weird stuff with my 2.0 app on occasion and when that happened, just said screw it and let it run in standard instead of extended. Could be some weird hardware configuration or something. I could never explain why it didn't work when I had that problem, because most of the time it ran just fine.

BTW, I’m still using 2.0 because I need to convert this application to Y2k, and I don’t want to rock the boat in converting it to FoxPro DOS 2.5. There are some serial communications in this program that are currently working. So I’m going let sleeping dogs lie and use the standard version of FoxPro2.0 and tweak the upper memory area.

My app is still in 2.0 for some of the same reasons as yours ... serial communications that are working just fine, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it < g >.

Good luck,
Bonnie
