What version of VFP? What SP? I mean, some bugs only appear in certain versions.

>We had an ever growing DLL (could have been an exe too). After analyzing the code for many hours we discovered the cause of the problem:
>Within a method of object A we did a createobject to object B and passed A (this). In the init of object B we store the passed object in a property.
>
>Try the following for example:
>
>FOR nTel = 1 TO 1000
> x = CreateObject( 'textbox' )
> y = CreateObject( 'textbox' )
>
> x.AddProperty( 'test', y )
> y.AddProperty( 'test', x )
>
> x = null
> y = null
>ENDFOR
>MESSAGEBOX('Watch the memory usage in the taskmanager')
>
>
>While executing this code watch the memory usage in the taskmanager. It grows up to 18 MB!!
>IF you remove the link y.AddProperty( 'test', x ) not only the memory usage is growing but performance differs 20 times or more!
>
>Our solutions will be the usage of an intermediair object z:
>z point to x, z points to y and y points to z so that we can refer from y to x with y.z.x
