Godfrey,

>A couple of years ago there was a thread (#596256) where it was reported that a project that was compiled and run in a Development mode then failed to run when recompiled as an exe. There, the issue referred to within the error message had to do with an inaccessible CD drive.
>I have the same weird problem. In my case the error message is reporting insufficient memory (total available memory is 1.5 GB).

What your problem has in common with the one reported in the above thread?

It's known that VFP has sometimes that problem on PC's with 1Gb of memory or more and limiting the buffer size fixes it.

SYS(3050, 1, 128*1024*1024)
SYS(3050, 2, 128*1024*1024)

You can use this setting as a starting point to see if it fixes your problem. After that you can follow Optimizing the VFP Bufffer Size FAQ #8125.

>The project is simple with, essentially, a data form and its maintenance form. The APP runs and the EXE runs but crashes with the system error 2005 at the point where I am trying to instantiate one of these two forms. (Two other forms that are created by the framework run just fine in the exe.)

What's "system error 2005"?
