Re: SQL*Forms 4.0 slow and buggy (???)

JUNE -- I presuming you are using the production version 4.0.11.1 on

        MS-Windows.

        FRM-40920: Unable to create view: Low on system resources.

              Occurs when you are low on MS-Windows resources. Forms
              has determined that given the current level of free
              resources it will not be able to display all of the
              items on the canvas in the window your attempting to
              show, so it gives this error and doesn't create any of
              the items (rather than creating only *some* of them on
              that canvas). 

              This could be provoked by having a canvas with a
              multi-record block containing lots of text items in each
              record.  Problem is solved in 4.0.12 version of Forms on
              MS-Windows where we no longer use up resources for each
              widget displayed. In the meanwhile, displaying fewer
              number of records displayed has been a temporary
              workaround for many of our current customers.

              Contact your sales rep on availability of the 4.0.12
              version. Unofficially it should hit the streets by late
              November. 

     FRM-10064: Unable to load the object from the resource file.

              Can also be related to low system resources.

     VGS-1101: Oracle Toolkit error.

              If you have an XGA video card, there are various known
              Microsoft problems with the XGA driver "leaking" GDI or
              USER resources. We're working on isolating how these
              problems affect our product (together with some sites
              who have XGA video and are experiencing similar
              problems). Some of the PS/2 (if not all of the latest
              ones) come with XGA video. 

    Application Error: F40DES caused a General Protection Fault in
		       <module_name> at <address>.

              PSCRIPT.DRV sounds like a problem in the postcript
              printer driver. I would try with other printer drivers
              to narrow down the problem. The TK2WIN.DLL problem
              should be reported to Worldwide Support with a
              reproducible testcase so that we may address the
              problem.

    Thanks.

PS -- When it comes to Windows Resource issues, having more RAM

      typically does not aid the situation because the limit in the
      Windows environment is quite low regardless of how much
      addressable RAM your system has.
