I've been having the same problems on large files... and beleive it or not by seperating where PROGWORK, SORTWORK and TEMP in the CONFIG.FPW... the application runs like a charm.... it's something to do with the number of files in a single directory... figure that one out... but it works!!!! Good luck! David >>I found out something interesting today. I was working in a different directory and decided to try filer to see if it would work. It worked. I changed the directory to the one I had tried earlier and got Insufficent Memory. Apparently it has something to do with the number of files in the directory. I currently have my tables, libraries, programs, etc all in one directory. Guess I may need to do something about that. >> >>Carla > > >That could be a very significant discovery! You wouldn't think that a lot of files would take up that much memory. (Maybe filer has some finite limitation.). I think you might find it easier to separate out your files. I keep all my dbfs in a DBF directory etc. I have directories DBF, SCREEN, PRG, RPT, LIB, MENU. I keep my project in the DBF directory so that I don't have to set any path to run the app. > >I think the programs run faster if there are fewer files in the directories. This may be a holdover idea from the DOS days. > >Bob I think it would be a good idea to separate the files as you suggest. This is the first app I wrote (working with a consultant that was learning Fox as well). We didn't learn until later that we should separate the files. The app is used to run our company payroll and has grown considerably since it was first implemented 3 1/2 years ago. I'm going to work at trying to get the dbf's all into a separate directory later this week, perhaps that will solve the problem. Thanks again for you help.
