>>>Buying additional memory would be nice, but for 200 users, maybe not quite so cost effective if there is another way.... I don't know too much about how Windows 95 and Visual FoxPro handle memory, but the users have virtual memory set to let Windows 95 handle it automatically. I would assume that as long as they have enough hard drive space, they wouldn't run out.... but they still get that message with 500 MB of hard drive space free. Apparently that isn't the memory they are running out of.

I would think you do because my guess is that Windows only loads into memory one EXE rather than numerous EXEs. Although Windows loads into memory only one VFP runtime .DLL I would think it still has to load into memory numerous VFP EXEs if you run them simultaneously. Have you tried running this "consolidated" one EXE and do you still get memory problems? I'm interested because my users have to run 2 or 3 separate VFP apps in the near future.
