>I am testing a genetic algorithm application (which I did not develop) requiring a large number of variables. I am limited by VFP 5.0 giving 'too many variables' error message from increasing the variables in the algorithm. Is there any way to raise the number of variables VFP 5.0 is able to handle.

The setting is MVCOUNT in CONFIG.FPW. In VFP the default is 1024 (256 in FPW26) that you can increase upto 65,000.
