Hi,

I think I have been rescued a couple of times recently by using SYS(3050). In one case I was testing a VFP 7 COM object on a twin processor Win2k server with 4Gig of memory. I was getting VFP error 1150 "Not enough memory for file map".

Restricting buffers to about 256 Mbytes fixed the problem.

In another case I was calling a VFP 7 .EXE via DTS. This time I got an Windows error about not being able to perform deferred writes to a temporary table.

I did the same thing: SYS(3050,1,256*1024*1024) and SYS(3050,2,256*1024*1024) and the problem went away. My impression was that it was something to do with VFP hogging all the available resources.

Should I have been doing some server tuning? What was going on in the second case.

My aim is to become a little less ignorant of what is going on. Can anybody help.

Thanks

Chris Chinnery
