Fox 2.6 Dos 'Insufficient Memory' Error when compiling App or Exe.

[oublie]

Machine: Pent 233mmx 128mb<br>OS: WinNT 4 SP 5<br>Novell/NT Network<br>Foxpro For DOS 2.6a (X)<br><br>Problem:<br><br>When i try to compile a Foxpro for DOS EXE on the above system it comes up with the Insufficient Memory error.&nbsp;&nbsp;As you can see there is plenty of memory and when i do a SYS(1001) i get 66731968.&nbsp;&nbsp;The totals size of the project is about 3Mb max so why is this happening?&nbsp;&nbsp;I've tried compiling in DOS as this machine is dual boot but i get the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Oublie.

If you are compiling in networking environment, give another try by log off from network and then compile.<br><br><br>Farrukh

Tried compiling when not logged onto network, I tried in bot an NT and DOS enviroment and still had an 'insufficient memory' error.<br><br>

<b>Remember, you are working with a DOS program.</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;DOS only sees 640K of memory unless you are using a DOS extender.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's been several years since I worked with FP DOS.&nbsp;&nbsp;Was the program working until you made some changes, or did you try to take this program from a DOS machine to NT?<br><br>I have gotten insufficient memory messages with FP Windows but a reboot fixed the problem. <p>Mike Wood<br><a href=mailto:mwood@awod.com>mwood@awod.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Check out the name of the exe file you are compiling, may be the name you are using might be a reserved word. Try changing the name. <br>&nbsp;

You can set the number of variables that are in the program.<br><br>However, you can't do a lot.&nbsp;&nbsp;DOS and NT/Novell are not real happy.&nbsp;&nbsp;You might be able to slide a third program in that will help.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have done some of this with Access 97.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, this only helps. It does not solve the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Another HELP is pulling from 2 shared drives and working on a third machine.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, this is also not a cure.

&quot;When i try to compile a Foxpro for DOS EXE on the above system it comes up with the Insufficient Memory error. &quot;<br>? What happens when you do not use that machine ?<br>? When did the problem start ? Since this is a DOS application is has been around a while.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can you go back to an earlier version and trace the changes made to the program.<br><br> <p>David W.

Solved IT!<br><br>Folks, FYI the problem was solved by rebuilding the project.&nbsp;&nbsp;i.e. creating a new pjx and adding the prg's etc to that project, then when i compiled it worked first time.&nbsp;&nbsp;This was obviously one of those error messages that has absolutely nothing to do with the fault!&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for all your tips and help much appreciated<br><br><A HREF="mailto:Oublie@shannon-web.co.uk">Oublie@shannon-web.co.uk</A><br>
