>>>Hi Jerry,
>>>Recursive calls use stack space and it's rather big in fact. But if any recursion has no chance to end then this error occurs. For VFP the most probable recursive call causing this is to place a refresh in a refresh that will never end. For your case what is strange is it happens on a laptop but not on another machine. Is there a method executing a call to itself based on some parameters such as timing check ?

>Hi Justok,
>There are places where recursion is the only ticket to get especially with PROgramming in LOGic extensions. Otherwise you would end up with pages of code that could be done with a few lines of recursive method. Some examples :

I see, Thanks Cetin! I thinks more possible to use it when form.resize()
to make sure all object has resized to approiate value!! No missing!! ^_^"
