Nope. VFP's memory manager can (and will) use any and all memory available to it for an application, regardless of whether it's compiled into an .APP or a .EXE (the only difference is how the VFP runtime itself gets started up; it's the same runtime regardless of how the app is compiled unless you're running under the development version, in which case, it's the same development engine being fired up regardless of whether it's compiled to an .APP or an .EXE file.

This sounds more like a problem with how your NT system is configured than with VFP, though - even if you have only 32MB of RAM available, your can (and should) have more memory available as virutal memory throguh the swap file, and when the VFP app isn't active, it can (amd will be) paged out of physical RAM.
