I seem to remember something about someone on this list doing just a plain zip cmd /c to regain memory, or something to that effect. I will see if I can find the post.

Dennis I found this I use memoryblaster to view the memory (512MB and virtual set to 4000 MB) The memory usage never goes over 70% What I do in my 2 level while endwhile Run a report and then do Zip cmd /c copy filename.txt lpt5 I have found out today that if in the loop I instead append the report to the file and just copy once at the end of the commandfile everything works without a NTVDM error So for time being my conclusion is that ZIP is the memory leak cause I will continue watching and testing If I find more I report

Gunnar,
As long as you are testing, run the report several time while watching memory usage with the task manager. If you se the leak, try doing the same thing with rabase running under win98 compatibility mode and see if the memory leak is fixed. Let us know what you find.

J.M I am not sure exactly but NTVDM is something like NT Virtual Dos Machine Mostly no problem, but a report running in 2 level deep while loop sometimes get stuck on XP maschine with an error on no available NTVDM memory, while it never happens on a ME PC (I had plan move that last PC to XP as well so all users run the same OS again, but don’t dare yet) The problem is not consistent after a reboot it normally works, this is a once a month problem for my monthly reporting. I always get the report out one way or an other, I just whish my user could do it herself month after month without asking me to fix the report out. I will do some more testing on this in the weekend I report if I can get the problem to disappear. Some more people claim there is some kind of memory leak problem in XP with R:Base dos 6.5++ latest and greatest 1.866
As for uour problem the first I would test is RBW 1.866 before doing anything else

Gunnar :
I am sure 98% of this
List would agree on that, but have you tried to explain it to a user
that
needs to do 4 extra reboots a day or "steal" a colleges ME.PC just to
get a
report out! So before I start going back in Time and start using ME/982E I would
like
to
find a solution or a workaround on the NTVDM error message
<
What means NTVDM ?
Yesterday I visted a client that run one of my RBW 6.5++ app (1.851xRT03) on an old NT WS 128 Mo RAM without any problems.
I asked my to move the same app on a brand new XP SP1 512 Mo RAM ..... and there the problems begins (page fault, violation exception .....).
