Any memory setting for FPW 2.5 Application ?

#1

Hi -

Is there any kind of memory setting for a FPW 2.6 application to run? I have a
FPW application that runs ok but once in a while on some machine it gives a
'Out of Memory' error? Any ideas ???/

Thanks in advance.....

Congrats right back atcha, Rick!

It's nice to be one of the "cool kids" again. <g> (I was a MVP from the 2nd
year of the program, but was defrocked 2 years ago.)

Hey Dan,
As long as you are "here", congrats on the VFP MVP award! (It's my subtle
way to point out my getting that honor too! <g>)

FWIW, I agree with you.

I actually used MEMLIMIT=80,2048,8192 as a standard starting point.
Depending on the app and the environment, I'd sometimes see performance
improvements moving that upper limit in either direction. FPW was an odd
duck that way. Sometimes, telling it to use LESS memory improved
performance. <g

Shah,
I've always found that having a MEMLIMIT your application's CONFIG.FPW
file
is important. Since FoxPro DOS or Windows can't use more than 16MB, I use
MEMLIMIT = 60, 2048, 16384. Note: Recently some have challenged the "...
can't use more than 16MB ..." part of that statement, and while I can't
find
any documentation that confirms it, I do know that all of our FPW apps
have
run better with it set at or less than 16MB. One other user claimed that
going up to 32MB (32768) worked as well or better - I didn't find that to
be
true, but you can always check it out for yourself.
