I really suspect this is what you are doing, and if so I do not think it is simply a memory issue as you are not executing any DP code in the memory space of these servers but only in the client. If the client is exactly the same as when you were previously using Netware then I would think it is either a locking, file handles, permissions issue or some other vaguery of the Windows networking By the way everyone, I have just become a daddy again. Mum and baby boy (Robert) are doing well, 3.5kgs (7lb 12oz), 53cm (almost 21 inches), lots of dark hair (no metric-imperial conversion J), blue eyes. (likewise). Like 2 of my other 3 boys he was late, but this one needed a c-section.

I am already using the /w-50K startup switch, which had worked fine for years until now. :-( (You were probably the person who told me about that years ago - thanks!) I'm not sure if it's a memory issue or not, but it just seemed to me that it might be. The only other time I have had a problem like this, I finally figured out that the PC that it was happening on had a non-Intel CPU that was apparently overheating, and that was somehow causing it to suddenly whack out while running complicated macros. However, this is now happening on all the PCS on my (Windows 2003) network, not just one. Do you have any other ideas of things it might be? Thanks!!

If I'm remembering correctly, the command line was /w-xx where xx is the number of kb to allocate for the macro processor. Try starting up Shell with the following command line: mc /w-30 shell See if that makes any difference.

Now I have to make them also work on a Windows 2003 server. (All workstations are running XP Pro.) When I run them from the Windows 2003 server, the shell macros for my DP program are crashing, and I have the impression it is because they are running out of memory in the DOS window. What happens is that after a short time running, it starts typing garbage on the screen instead of what is supposed to be typing, and shortly thereafter it just freezes the screen and gives up the ghost. The macros are rather large - In the past I have broken some of the macros up into smaller sub-macro files in order to get them to work when there have been apparent memory issues, but doing that again doesn't seem to help this time. All memory settings seem to be the same on the workstations. The only thing I can see that seems to be a major difference is the network client. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the problem or, more importantly, how it can be fixed? Thanks!!!
