Hi, we just replaced several computers with W2K machines. Our FPW 2.6 apps seem to run okay but, when we try to save an updated file, we get an insufficient memory error message. The program always stops at the same point "show gets". The apps that don't work right under W2K work fine under NT 4.0. Some apps seem to work without any problem while others have the error.....Any Ideas?
 
Hi
Right Click on the icon of the application and set the memory property to use Extended memory (you have to clcik to select this memory. By default W2k dont use it for 2.6 applications).
If you are using a batch file, then this memory tab wont appear. You should directly create the icon for the executable on the desktop and then set its property.
Hope this helps you :) ramani :-9

Thanks for your input...I tried doing as you suggested, but when I right click on the icon there are no settings for memory at all!! I'm using Foxpro 2.6a for windows. Do you have any other ideas?
 
You may want to check the CONFIG.FPW file for this application and check the MEMLIMIT setting. Sometimes the "Not enough memory" is really a "Too much memory" message.
Remember FPW can't use more than 16MB, I normally use:
MEMLIMIT = 60, 2048, 16384

I have a in-house Foxpro prospecting database! We are running it on Novell 3.12 and the Fox Version is xxx.x.
We had our server go down and corrupt the database and I had to restore from a backup. After doing so I am unable to log in to the application from 3 workstations without getting these errors. I can get through my login screen, but when I try to run one my menu options (programs) I get this error. Seems to be some type of screen setting conflict. The workstations are running windows 98 SE. These same workstations could access the application without a problem prior to the restore and the other 7 workstations can open the application!!

Here is the Error I get!

RUNTIME ERROR HAS OCCURRED
ERROR MESSAGE I/O OPERATION FAILURE
PROGRAM:CU.SPX
LINE NUMBER: 667
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE

In selecting in menu option I get this same error with the Program name: xxx.SPX
