SYMPTOMS

Repeatedly calling the _htmltag class located in the _html.vcx Class Library while running Visual FoxPro 6.0 under Window NT 4.0 causes the following error message to occur:

There is not enough memory to complete this operation.

If the operating system is Windows 95, Visual FoxPro hangs and no error message appears.

RESOLUTION

Release the object reference explicitly after you create the instance of the object. In the example below, replace the line:

o=''

o.Release

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The Genhtml.prg program uses the _html.vcx Class Library. The _htmltag class is one of many classes available within this Class Library.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a program that contains the following code and run the program:

   FOR x = 1 TO 10000
      o=newobject("_htmltag",home()+"ffc\_html.vcx")
      o=''
   ENDFOR

While the program is running, one of the behaviors listed in the SYMPTOMS section occurs.
