>> Another problem I am getting is with a line of code I saw on this list to
set the buffer size used by FoxPro.

Sys(3050,1,Val (Sys (3050, 1, 0)) / 3)  && Set Visual Foxpro Buffer Size

Any ideas on how to do this with VFP on Windows 7 or in deed if it is
necessary in Win 7<<


The SYS(3050) function has an upper limit of 2 GB, so the suggested code is
a bad idea. Minimally it should ensure the upper limit is not exceeded.
Randomly picking one-third of available memory seems like a waste to me
since VFP runs great with 128 MB in most cases. Naturally this is a
case-by-case situation, but I would have a smarter formula. Mac Rubel did an
article in FoxPro Advisor years ago that showed 64 MB was a sweet spot for
Visual FoxPro query performance. More importantly it showed how more memory
is not necessarily a good thing.
