>>We have a spider process that runs some fairly intensive data processes in the background and have recently been receiving a number of inconsistent bugs.
>>
>>We believe we have narrowed the problem down to a resource problem. After running one data intensive process after another, VFP does not release the memory right away and eventually, we run out of resources. The results at this point are unpredicatable. Tables that were opened up one line before have been closed. Memory variables that we declared a few lines above suddenly have disappeared.
>>
>>We are going to issue a Sys(1104) after each process in hopes of getting some of the memory back. My experience has been that you don't get all of it back.
>>
>>We would also like to added to our error log the amount of RAM in use at the time of the error. FoxPro's Sys(1016) is not adequate for what we need.
>>
>>What are some API calls that would give us an accurate picture of memory in use?
