After installing, I found out that when I try to run SQLForms, RUNForms or SQLMenu, I get the error: execp error 6: out of extended memory However, when I run SQL*DBA or SQL*Plus, everything is OK. Looking at how the PC's memory is used, MEM /C shows that all extended memory (approx. 3MB+) is allocated by SQLPME. The only other thing in extended memory is DOS that was relocated via DOS=HIGH. This doesn't take much space to seriously affect SQLPME. When I looked up the Oracle Tools Installation and User's Guide, the table of memory requirements showed that SQLForms needed 2800K of RAM, SQLMenu needed 2300K and RUNForm needed 1200K. So how come I could not execute RUNForm despite having twice the required free memory available in extended memory ? My .FRM files are small and simple. I'm I missing something in the installation ?
