There is a database with 20,000 records around 16MB i am using a ATL COM Dll to query this database and retrieve each record. Each record is in form of an array and again the all records are placed inside a safearray.I have writen a test program to repeatedly query this funcvtion and load the safearray with all the records.But all 3 times i get an error message that my computer is low on virtual memory and needs to be increased . What i feel is i am not able to release COM pointers. But whatever interface pointers are there they are all ssamrt pointers that is they release themselves.

I can see in the TAsk manager that after each call to the function the mem usage keeps on increasing . And finally it reaches the maximum level and i get this error message of low virtual memory

regards
nirk
