I know this sounds like a silly question, but are you running under Windows? If so, I would suggest putting a MEMLIMIT statement in your config.FP. We had many MANY problems with FOX 2.6Dos when we began converting over to Windows 3.11 and found out that most of the problems could be solved by ending the argument between Windows and Fox....

FOX: *I* will handle the memory!!

WINDOWS: NO!!! *I* will handle the memory!!

FOX: No, I will!!!

Windows: No! It's mine, mine, MINE!!!!
