This has been discussed at great length. Everything you are saying is the same thing many of us experience everyday. I personally have no less than 10 users that have to reboot 2-3 times a day because of this problem. Many people have posed this problem to RBase Tech. and nobody has been successful getting them to listen and fix it.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Virtual Memory Problems, RB65++, Win2K
Hi,
We are experiencing considerable Virtual Memory problems when (I believe) we
are running print-intensive operations under RBDOS 6.5++, Build 1.866xRT03.
These same applications previously ran flawlessly under RBDOS 4.5++
I should also say that the problems are not encountered on W98 machines,
only W2000 machines, which presumably points to the NTVDM under W2000.
Anyway, I am using the following code to "release" acumulated memory
periodically.
SET VAR vcmspec = (ENVVAL('COMSPEC'))?
SET VAR vclearmem = ('ZIP RETURN' & .vcmspec & '/C')?
&vclearmem
This does always seem to successfully release the necessary memory, while
maintaining the database connection and the active variables. It does,
however, drop any temporary tables/views that may be active at the time.
Sometimes, however, and there's no easy way of predicting when, it just
blows me straight out of Rbase
Machine Specs:
Dell 4600, 80GB HDD, 256MB RAM, Fixed swap file 1024MB
System Variables of 60 for both Files and Buffers set
Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong, or what else I can do would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steven
