>Andrus,
>This is from VFP online doc as is :
>For the most part, the Windows NT® operating system and Visual FoxPro work extremely well together. The only exception is when you run Visual FoxPro on a Windows NT Server. The Windows NT Server uses far more memory than Visual FoxPro expects, and therefore Visual FoxPro can tend to over-allocate memory for its own uses.
>To remedy this, you should use the SYS (3050) system function to adjust Visual FoxPro’s memory buffer pool to approximately one third of its default (see the Memory Management section below). For example, you could add the following code to your startup code or your CONFIG.FPW file:
>
>=SYS (3050, VAL (SYS (3050, 1, 0)) / 3)

Than you very much for this explanation. I think I will start adding
the line SYS(3050, 1, VAL(SYS(3050, 1))*0.75) always in the
begging of my programs. It is not required (if possible at all) to dedect running on NT server because this is rare case I think and reducing
memory always to 1/3 of available causes too big loss of perfomance.
So i start to reduce memory always 25% and hope this will increase
speed.
I think I must insert vfp cd and read it doc.
Are there other intresting things not covered in foxhelp.hlp file in vfp doc?
