Too Many Memory Variables

[AidenMc]

I was wondering if anyone could help with a problem I am having.
We have a software package in which the user can create a job, also from this screen, the user can go to other forms and then back to the original, after a couple of times jumping from screen to screen the error too many memory variables comes up.
I have tried to change the config.fpw to Mvcount = 5000, and add it to the other files and compiled, but the error still keeps appearing.
We are trying to reprogram at the moment to release the variables that we don't need, it's just if we could have a temp solution for our client whilst we are doing this it would be great
Any help would be much appreciated

thanks,

Aiden

Mike,
Thanks for that, didn't work but thanks for the tip. We are going to fire ahead with the software changes ( we should have spec it out better to begin with )

thanks again

I believe it counts each array item as a memory variabels. Therefore, if you have large arrays that are not full, you may try reducing their size.

Jim,
Nope, while an array does take memory based on how big it is and what's in it, it still only counts as a single variable in the MVCOUNT limits.

The "Too many variables" message can come up when a SELECT INTO ARRAY yields > 65000 results. -Jim

Maybe that is where I am thinking the correlation is. Here is an example of that:
