Howie,

The error comes from memory-hogs which grab memory and don't give it back, even when they're closed, and the fact that FPW2.6 is a 16-bit application. For us, Lotus Notes is the worst offender for memory-hogging.

Only a re-boot will effectively clear the memory problem.

I recommend that my users open FoxPro first (and keep it open all day) so it can get the memory it needs, and then they can open all of their other apps.


>After applying the published .ESL patch for fpw26, an initial CLOSE/IGNORE? error that was appearing at application startup on a fast (300-400mhz) CPU Win98 went away. However, a NOT ENOUGH MEMORY problem with an application screen using EDIT display boxes came up. I modified the screen to use regular SHOW objects instead. That tested ok on my 233 mhz Win95 development environment, but (inconsistently) generates a mysterious error message entitled "WATCOM win386".
