Windows Err Msg: Insufficient Memory to Run App (dBASE IV)

 Last reviewed: November 23, 1994
Article ID: Q72217
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

Attempting to run the DBASE.EXE file on a network either from a PIF, File Manager, or directly from the Windows command line results in the following Windows error message: 

   Insufficient Memory To Run Application
This is caused by running DBASE.EXE rather than DBASE.COM on a network version of dBASE IV versions 1.0 and 1.1.

MORE INFORMATION

DbASE IV can be installed specifically to run on a network that will allow for multiple-user access. If dBASE IV is installed in this way, DBASE.COM is the executable file that is created. If dBASE IV is not installed to run on a network it will create a DBASE.EXE file that cannot be run off the network and work correctly.

It is possible to run DBASE.EXE from within Windows 3.0 by executing it from the MS-DOS command line under Windows or by creating a batch file that calls it. However, this is not a recommended way to run dBASE IV on a network and is unstable according to Ashton-Tate.
