Thomas,
I agree, most times the obvious solution is the right one.
I was not aware of the fact that VFP had those kind of problems, but I've always found that it, at least in the area of control over memory handling, left a lot to be desired.
On the practical side of this problem: theres no way in hell, that my client's going to let me muck around with downsizing his machines, physically or otherwise.
Thank's for the suggestion,though.

are you serious?>
