Re: forms memory requirement/problem

hi ppl,
thanks for the input. my problem is not with the amt/percentage forms uses. and i just use windows sys info for a rough indication. the real problem i'm facing is that it takes up lots of resources and i cannot open too many applications. i also submitted a tar to oracle, they've some documented bug on this and suggests i use some utility to control resources being used. when i have time, i'll try it out......

rgds.
