Out of Memory

[Guest]

Hi,
Having Access 2003 SP2 here. I am experiencing out of memory when creating
any objects (queries, forms, report etc) using wizard. Everytime I click
next, the error occurs. Any help?

Not really any Access specific answers but think about these.

1. How much memory is on your computer. 128MB isn't enough. 256MB might work
if you don't have much else running. 512MB or above is good.

2. How much junk is running? Is your Windows Taskbar full of icons? You
might want to use MSConfig or something like WinPatrol (
http://www.winpatrol.com/ ) to shut down unneeded programs.

3. Speaking of unneeded programs, have you updated your virus checker and
run a full scan lately? Ditto on a spyware detector like Ad Aware or SpyBot.
They could be eating up your memory.

4. Does it happen on all of your Access databases or just one or two? It
could be a corruption problem.

Having 768mb here. I guess I will have to do some experiments and see if I
can get them to work again. Will post back if I have anymore problems. Thanks
a lot.

"Out of memory" is sometimes the default error message when Access
gets real confused and doesn't know what else to do.

Unfortunately there are no KB articles at Microsoft mentioning this
exact problem and which have to do with Wizards. So I'm at a loss to
suggest something which I know will help.

First off I'd try uninstalling MS Office 2003 and re-installing it.
