: : : Hi Mark: I have been testing the expanded limits (2000 stocks) open in a port and have been having computer freeze ups well below this 2000 limit. I loaded about 1400 stocks but after updating prices for the new day the system is unable to save the data on most of the stocks ( It gives a Warning box with Ok or Cancel buttons for the investment) and then freezes up the system. Some times I can ContAltDel out to Task Manager and NT returns control back to FM for a new Warning box on the next investment it cant save. I have 196mb of ram and large page memory file but I didnt crash the way I would If I ran out of ram memory. Does the size of the .dat files open figure into the practical limits for FM7.0? The .dat files all have about 10+ years of price data.

: : : Hope you able to dupicate the problem with this info. Thanks|FC

: : Hi Fred,

: : What does the warning box say in the text? Maybe that provides some clue...
: : Yes, the size of the investment files will affect memory usage, but this
: : really shouldn't be a problem, especially at such a low number of investments
: : (1400).

: : Thanks,

Mark: The message in the warning box was the path to the directory and .dat file which was the correct path. Does this indicate the .dat is scrogged or is open by another process? I suppose crashing the computer in order to reboot could have corrupted the .dat files. Do you want me to restore them from backup before testing again? Thanks|FC
