GDI Heap & Win 98

[rich.barry]

My database is running fine on Win 2000 machines, but seems to be giving some problems under Win 98 with out of memory errors.

The problem appears to be the GDI heap is getting saturated, so I've read various info and tidied up my code to ensure all database objects and recordsets are closed and set to nothing after use etc.

This hasn't done the trick however. Has anyone got anything else helpful to add?

The database does not hold too much data, but has got about 35 forms, the majority with code behind them.


Thanks

If your forms use graphic images such as the stone background, that may be causing the errors. I removed the backgrounds from all my forms and just use a solid color. The graphics were resource hogs.

Thank you Pat. You've come up with the goods again.
Unfortunately the database no longer looks as nice as previously, but memory errors seem to be a thing of the past.

Regards
