Hi, I'm working in FoxPro 2.6 and just got a 'program too large' error.I've got 10 screens in one screen set, but I didn't think that wasunreasonably big. (Actually, with 8 screens the project will build, thenwhen I add the ninth, I get the error message.) Does anyone know how Ican trouble-shoot this? I don't know where to start. Is it the code ortoo many screen objects? Does changing fonts within a screen increasethe size? The manuals don't seem to discuss this. Thanks!Sun, 07 Nov 1999 03:00:00 GMT.

The 'program too large'problem is probably the 64k limit for a single compiled PRG.GETs, for each platform, so it is typical for this to be a problemthere.)You can fix it in a couple of ways, by modularizing your code,breaking out the snippets into separate UDFs, to start with. If youhave a large Cleanup with all all your procs in it, break them outinto a separate PRG, SET PROC to this PRG on entry into the screen andremove the procedure file after the READ.

Well, I just tried the separate procedure file and still got the'program too large' message. I also tried removing screen 9 and itworked. I added another screen (just to make sure there was no error in9) and again got the message. Your question about xplatform: no, I'mjust writing for users with Windows 3.1 and '95.But this is the largest set of data we've ever worked with-there are206 fields in this database, and even with lots of memo fields, theycontain 2998 characters. I wonder if this is part of the problem.Because of the limit on number of fields (254), many of these fieldscontain several chunks of data, so a lot of my procedure code breaksthose up into chunks to put on screen in a user-friendly way.
Reducingthe size of the database by normalizing the data would create problemswith the report format we want to create-I can't get a box used as apage border to cross between a header and body area. And even if wenormalize, there would still be 400-500 objects to display on-screen.Any thoughts?Tue, 09 Nov 1999 03:00:00 GMT.

The FoxPro2.6 developer's guide indicates that this message is related toa program or procedure exceeding 65,000 bytes, but have you tried freeingup more conventional memory or changing MEMLIMIT? Sometimes two completelydifferent situations will return the same error message.Well, I just tried the separate procedure file and still got the'program too large' message.

Sometimes two completely different situations will return the same error message.Thanks, but it didn't work. I have 604 conventional memory free; I doubtI could get more and I'm using Windows '95, so I don't have a lot ofcontrol there! I added MEMLIMIT=90 to config.fpw, but no change.Tue, 09 Nov 1999 03:00:00 GMT. Well, I just tried the separate procedure file and still got the'program too large' message.
