Hi!
Try to use sys(1104) funtion after the intensive memory usage. This should clear all unused memory buffers. Take a look for help at the following link, it is not described in the MSDN.

>My application running as an NT service opens - with FOPEN(cFile), analyzes - with FGETS(nHandle, 1000), and closes - with FCLOSE(nHandle), a big text file (of some 2 million rows). During analysis it performs a hard check of data consistency (many IF...ENDIF's), stores important things in a table, and closes it, then sleeps waiting for another wake-up. I noticed that during fgetting rows the RAM usage increases and is not released even after FCLOSE (in this way I loose some 500MB and more). I have to exit the program to give out all memory. Any hints or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
