urgent: "There isn't enought memory to perform this operation..."

[Guest]

Please, somebody helps me!!

My application doesn't start.

I tried to open a form to make an update and I had this message:

"There isn't enought memory to perform this operation. Close unneeded
programs and try the operation again"

Since then the form doesn't work. I can't open the form neither to make a
update or just to load it.

Please. This is urgent.

Thank you.

The symptoms indicate a corruption in the form.

Try this sequence (in order):

1. Uncheck the boxes under:
Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect
In Access 2007, it's:
Office Button | Access Options | Current Database | Name AutoCorrect
Explanation of why:

2. Compact the database to get rid of this junk:
Tools | Database Utilities | Compact/Repair
or in Access 2007:
Office Button | Manage | Compact/Repair

3. Close Access. Make a backup copy of the file. Decompile the database by
entering something like this at the command prompt while Access is not
running. It is all one line, and include the quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"

4. Open Access (holding down the Shift key if you have any startup code),
and compact again.

5. Open a code window.
Choose References from the Tools menu.
Uncheck any references you do not need.
For a list of the ones you typically need in your version of Access, see:
http://allenbrowne.com/ser-38.html

6. Still in the code window, choose Compile from the Debug menu.
Fix any errors, and repeat until it compiles okay.

At this point, you should have a database where the name-autocorrect errors
are gone, the indexes are repaired, inconsistencies between the text- and
compiled-versions of the code are fixed, reference ambiguities are resolved,
and the code syntax is compilable.

If it is still a problem, the next step would be to get Access to rebuild
the database for you. Follow the steps for the first symptom in this
article:

There is one other possible option: the undocumented SaveAsText and
LoadFromText.

Thank you.
I tried everything you said. But the problem still continue.

However I have a backup and I'm going to import the old form. I read in some
posts from other groups that this occurs when we add to much objects in the
same form, and it was exactly what hapens to me.

Thanks anyway and i'll keep your solution to try (i hope not) for future
problems.
