Running Foxpro on Windows 2000

When my (Windows 2000 SP3) users run a program created
with FoxPro they get an out of Memory Error even though
they have 256MB and 30GB Hard Drive with mass amounts of
Virtual Memory. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Can you tell more about the app? FoxPro version? And what's the exact error
message?

and every time they try to add an employee and run the
update they get an

Program Error There is not enough memory to complete this
operation. And you can Cancel or Ignore. If you ignore you
can go past it and add info until you get so far and then
the error pops up again and then you can't continue..

Hi Karlita,
VFP 3.0b is a very old version (it is actually a 16-bit application) and
is quite buggy. You might consider rewriting the payroll application using
VFP8. Alternatively, if the application runs successfully under other
operating systems, you could just run it under those operating systems. I
don't think it is practical to update the application in VFP 3.0b.
