One of my users is receiving this error when he opens one of the Database's data-entry forms:

_________________________________________________________________________________

Microsoft Access

There isn't enough free memory to update the display. Close unneeded programs and try again.

_________________________________________________________________________________

What could be causing this?

 
was this a served copy or single user (where is the lic)??
The server may be set, close all programs other than access, are you running nt ? explain the setup
 
Three possibilities come to mind...

Memory leak in other program causing too much memory to be
allocated; restart (hold down shift key during startup to bypass startup group) and run Access first. If Access runs ok that's the problem.

Not enough disk space for a swap file.

Bad video driver or video misconfigured.
