I have a problem with my Access2000 application. After
some time it freezes the screen with the message "Not
enough memory to update display".

This error also makes the application itself stop.

Is there some memory issues I should be aware of?

Like
- setting a stack size
- telling the graphic card to use the memory on the card
(or is that just done automatically)?
- anything else?

Do you have less than 256mb if so it could be you have too little memory. On
my old machine with 128mb I used to get that error alot. Also compacting and
repairing sometimes helps. Lastly, if it gets really bad open a new database
and imort all the objects. Make sure to renew references in VB.

I have the error on different machines - but all with 512
MB or more RAM.

I'll try the suggested procedure. In the past I have
solved problems by making things "from scratch" in a new
database - but it does seem a little random that one
version should "go bad" like this, and a fresh version
should work just fine.

Did you actually solve this problem by this operation of
creating a new database with the old objects?

yes, I've done it plety of times and it increases performance in certain
instances dramatically. I usaully find it helps best after I had a problems
in debugging code like an infinite loop that ctrl-break wouldn't stop or
getting an error where it closes the program for you. if you still have a
problem try this site.
