>How do I calculate nYourValue? I mean, if its in the background, its not very important to me, I don't put VFP into the background when I am running a big process. Will it have other effects?

There's no fixed formula - I start playing with values between 1/3rd and 1/2 of the available physicial RAM or less when I start tuning, and adjust from there. I normally make my background setting around 1/2 the foreground setting.

>>>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.
