PRB: "Insufficient Memory" Previewing A Report In FPM

Last reviewed: October 18, 1996
Article ID: Q128770

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh, version 3.0b
Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

The following error messages may be received when previewing a report:

   Insufficient Memory

   -or-

   Internal Consistency Error

   -or-

   Error #43 in process (O): there is not enough memory to complete this
   operation."

CAUSE

On the Macintosh, there is a 'Setting of selected monitor' in the Monitors Control Panel. If this setting is set to 'Millions' or 'Thousands' of colors this may cause FoxPro to report 'INSUFFICIENT MEMORY' when previewing a report. This has also been reported to cause Internal Consistency Errors (ICE) errors.

RESOLUTION

To prevent this from occurring, change the setting under 'Control Panel/Monitors' to 256 or 16 (recommended).

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this behavior and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
