Re: forms memory requirement/problem

[Quoted] Use Windows NT instead of windows 95. I found that win95 uses a percentage of memory instead of what the actual form needs. For example I have a .FMX file that is about 976kb and each instance of it that is open in a win95 environment uses about 10% of a pc's memory (25megs). In WinNT it uses about [Quoted] 1.5 megs.

Hope this helps.
