Re: Buffer Overrun in VC++ using VFP9

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks for your responses everyone. Unfortunately, the app can run for
several weeks 24x7 without problem, then when we shut it down and restart it
occasionally gives the buffer overrun error. This is very intermittent and
frustrating.

I'll raise a support incident with MS I guess.
