Article: Q188253
Product(s): Microsoft FoxPro
Version(s): WINDOWS:6.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 11-DEC-1999

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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=''

with

  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.
