David, 

First, please try to fix your email address.  I can't reply except
through the newsgroup.

You didn't say what size memory you have in the PC.  If it is less
than 8Mb, then that is probably the problem.

Also, there have been reports of "memory leaks" where Forms do not
completely free up memory after a Call_Form/Exit_Form process, so your
memory could be disappearing that way.

We use New_Form mostly here, and do not have any GPF problems (at
least from that).

HTH,
Steve Cosner
