Re: Forms 4.5 - Memory Problem

Hello Paul,

    I only know that the problem MAY occured if:

1. *.FMB size over 1M in Forms 4.5
2. Too many data blocks defined in Forms 4.5 (or too many items in the data blocks)
3. The Forms run other appliactions such as Excel (using OLE)

    I read your next post and you said you embeded Oracle Graphics in your Forms. Is this Forms that has the memory problem? I use Forms 5.0 on Win95 with 64M RAM, open Forms Designer, Forms RunTime, SQL*Plus, WinWord or even Excel at the same time with no problem occured. Maybe you should upgrade to Forms 5.0 to see whether this error occured.
