Perry,

I would first look at the part that creates a zip file because it's external to VFP. Anyway, to narrow down the source of the memory leak you can start commenting out parts of the program and see how it would affect memory usage.

Occassionally it will error out. There are several different errors that have popped up, but they all relate back to memory usage.
