fpw 2.6 - exe runs on one machine, not another

Post by Philip Buchana » Fri, 23 May 1997 04:00:00



Anybody got a tips on this one:  a very small, simple application.  Runs
fine on two machines, but returns a "data type mismatch" error on client
machine when the user clicks the button for printing a report.  

Thanks,

Just a thought - if you're sure the programs are identical on all the
computers, are you sure the data tables are exactly the same on all the
computers?

1. FPW 2.6 memory leaks on one system, not another

I have a large FoxPro application (executable around 750k).  It is presently
running on two machines:  a 486 DX2/66 with 8MB RAM and a laptop 486/33,
also with 8MB.  Norton SysInfo on both machines shows comparable available
memory and disk performance; the config.sys and autoexec.bat files are
identical.  Both of them have a permanent swapfile of 4096k.

The problem is that it runs with excruciating slowness on the 486/66,
while running at quite a decent clip on the 486/33.  The reason for this
was not hard to find:  the 486/66 was using up memory in giant gobs,
while the /33 wasn't.  Here are some figures, from the program manager's
"Help/About", called while running the program:

Action            Free Memory/Free Resources
                  486/66                  486/33
Start             9732/81%                10012/85
Load Program      4928/75%                5937/80
Go into database  4058/72                 5780/77
Use more dbs      3306/67                 5657/75
Use still more    1451/62 [out of memory] 4446/62
Post-Exit         9712/78                 9982/81

Load control panel 9631/77                9904/data not collected

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?  It seems like some sort
of flaw in my Windows configuration, but I, being a relative Windows
neophyte, have no idea what's going on.

Suggestions?
