Robin OK, the "hidden agenda" here is that I actually need to increase the memory for the JVM for non-Tomcat related apps as well (e.g. XReporter, which runs under Phoenix).
Does JAVA_OPTS affect that as well?

It's a while since I ran Tomcat under Windows, but I believe you can set the JAVA_OPTS environment variable by editing the tomcat_home/bin/catalina.bat e.g: set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m Robin > > >>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004/11/01 05:03:08 PM >>> > Thanks to all who provided assistance. > > I figured it out for Windows server.
