Re: Out of Memory Problem in VB 6.0 Application.

Dear Mike/Michael,

Thanks for your replies.

My architecture is designed in such a way that all my processes will run in
the memory, since all my process are computation intensive and I get good
results (in terms of speed) if I do every thing in the memory. Every time if
I go for file read/write and db read/write kind of stuff, it would slow down
my computation process dramatically.

I was surprised to see this error eventhough I had 4 GB of ram, good
processor and enough HDD capacity. To be frank, we asked our customer to buy
this kind of machine and he is facing this problem after a successful UAT.

Can you guys help me out to get rid of this error.

Awaiting for your reply.
