I just finished loading the Bus and am heading for the warming south in a
bit. I saved the source of the Webpage and renamed it to DanMap.HTA. You
can probably put the HTA file in the monitor you want and set it's startup
(this will require some education on your part, but it is not very
difficult) options to suit your needs.
You can use JScript to operate a timer in the HTA to do the screen refreshes
and set a counter to close the HTA after a set amount of iterations based on
your findings of the amount of memory increase in each iteration (I observed
about 35 to 40 MB with each iteration).
If you don't know how to use DLCall with FindWindow API to determine when
the HTA is closed, then use scripting in the HTA to generate a marker file
when it closes that your RBase application can find and re-LAUNCH the HTA.
I am certain of this as a viable workaround and if I had more time left, I
would get the HTA working for you, but I must get going.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Memory Usage out of hand
I started out with the assumption this WAS NOT an R:Base Issue, and that I
was looking for an eloquent R:base work around...
You know Dream it and you can do it?
I even stated in my third email on this subject that IE ALONE uses the
same memory for that page and that R:base isn't to blame.... What does
that tell you including "A. Razzak Memon" <[email protected]>
Maybe read the actual intent of the question and not jump to conclusions
that anyone is attacking your product.
All I wanted was a work around since the odds of getting Google to
redesign their maps is probably not happing.
Last thing I need is a NON helpful cut down.
Dr. R, this is the last time you will Hack me publicly.
-R:BASE has nothing to do with this. Isn't that the truth!
No worries... I won't ask for your help again.

I tried your url in IE. It eats memory every time I refresh the page.

Good catch Dennis. I didn't think of the page being something Dan
created.
Could be Object creation that is not being disposed when the page goes
out
of scope.
So what does that explain to you all, including Dan
<[email protected]>.
Why not tackle the root of your issue by either contacting the vendor
or understanding the proper use and integration of such web site object
creation that hogs your system resources every time you refresh the page.
R:BASE has nothing to do with this.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
