Access Error Message

[danitrin]

I have two users that are getting the following message when using Access 97.

"There is not enough free memory to update the dispay. Close unneeded programs and try again."


The users have Windows 2000 with the latest sp. This happens with two seperate databases, located on two seperate network drives. Both machines have plenty of drive space and memory.

What could be causing this message? I've read several articles from Micrsoft on this message, none of which are relevant.

That error is most likely GDI memory as opposed to free RAM. Again, as per your other post, is it possible to isolate it to lines of code? In this case it probably isn't or it's "random". If you restart the PC and load absolutely nothing else and retry, does it happen?

It happens in multiple areas of the database so there's no way to isolate the code. We did expand the space on the network drive it is stored on and it seems to have fixed the problem. There is another user getting the same message with a different database stored on a different network drive. Could drive space truly be the source of the issue?
