Re: VPF v3.0b on XP Prof.

Thomas,
While I haven't tried this on an XP machine, I did on Win 9x, and it didn't seem to help VFP 3.0b - it may be using an API call to check the physical memory. I really hope it works in XP. (Of course I don't even have 3.0 installed anymore to test - just 5.0 -> 9.0 and no memory problems there! <g>)

Thank you so much - that's really helpful. I guessed it might be that. So no artificial ways of limiting memory, then?

Depends on your definition of "artificial". I often reduce the memory acessible to the OS (for perf tests across a simulated spectrum of memory distribution) via the "/maxmem=xxx" switch in the boot.ini.

Just copy your usual line in the boot.ini, add /maxmem=700 and change
the description to something very clear like
"reduced Mem[700] for VFP3.0b"

and you are in business after rebooting with that starting line.
