Your question is too generic to answer in any more detail than that. Is there a problem you are trying to solve? What are the symptoms? FoxPro worked perfectly fine on 386s with a couple of MEGAbytes of memory, as long as you tuned your LIMS memory properly. That hasn't changed. I've seen more problems with VFP allocated TOO MUCH memory rather than too little. Small databases take up insignificant amounts of memory, and hard disks and caching make most performance a non-issue. Depending on the OS there are steps you can take to better tune performance. So, are you dealing with GIGABYTE tables, less memory than table size, performance issues? If it's a speed issue, it's more likely sharing is configured wrong or there's a network problem or a Rushmore optimization issue than a memory problem. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CACW6n4uPjnTL14Wet=u-ub+ehior7igsunkym_n-shamaey...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
