>>Mac Rubel had an execellant article a few issues back in the foxpro advisor about allocating memory using the SYS(3050,1,x) function. It had something to do with making sure that VFP wouldn't automatically grab swap space off of the hard drive. Using the article, I figured out that for my machine that SYS(3050,1,9000000) was the correct setting, but now I've added another 32 megs of memory, and I am wondering what to change the setting to.

Thanks bruce! For now, I'm gonna try 1/2 of what sys(3050) reports as available if I don't mess with the setting. Its a significant amount more than the old setting, so I should see some performance boost.
