>Does anyone know if Microsoft is doing anything to address the Insufficient Memory error on fast PC's? The error occurs when 600 or more items are used in list boxes only on PC's with processors faster than 166Mhz.

Hi Paul,

Last I heard, MS's "official" position is that they don't support 2.6 any more. They suggest upgrading to VFP ( your client will love that if they want to maintain the existing app ) or doing something to "slow down" the app ( Riiiiight, we put all our effort into finding ways to speed up apps . . . and they want us to "slow them down" ) :-). At any rate, that's the only things I know of on this issue. We too experienced similar problems and just kind of threw up our arms and said we'll eventually rewrite the app in VFP5.0 when we have time. Until then, we tinker with things trying to find things that will let the app run ( most of the time ) in the interim. One developer here just imported his app into VFP and with minor modifications it runs ok. Not a long term solution, but a solution. Hope you can find a useable solution.
