Hello Paul,
I only know that the problem MAY occured if:
- *.FMB size over 1M in Forms 4.5
- Too many data blocks defined in Forms 4.5 (or too many items in the data blocks)
- 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.
