I installed my old VS97 with FoxPro 5.
When I try to run the Online Documentation an error occurs.->Runtime error
'2004' Out of memory.

Does anyone know a fix for this ? I've plenty of memory installed, maybe to
much ? 1G of memory with Win2K, 2Ghz p4.

Thanks
Glenn

Glenn,
While I've only got 1/2 gig, I'm not having any problems. (Dual Xeon 2gHz, XP Pro SP1) Have you updated to SP3 of VFP? It's still available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/sp/vs97/download.aspx.

Are you running at least SP 2 on W2K? (SP4 is probably best for a workstation.)

Yes, I'm running SP4 on W2K. Out of curiosity I installed my VFP5 on an
virgin XP machine with 1 gig and the online VFP documentation program
worked. So I installed VB5 with the online doc on my machine and the VBasic
version works. Well it's getting about time to do a complete reinstall
anyway :( But it is really strange that the VBonline.exe works but
VFPdocs.exe does not.

Glenn,
Using Depends on that code file it does require VB40032.DLL and MSCRT20.DLL, make sure you have the same versions of these files that the working XP machine has. It wouldn't be the first time that another install put an older version of a .DLL on a system because it was all it knew about! <s>

Also make sure all the "support" files in the directory structure where VFPDOC.EXE is, exist and match the XP system. Who knows what a missing file would do!
