Default Clearing RAM

I've had problems with the indexing service eating up memory. Check to see
if cisvc.exe is running in the task manager a kill the process. If this
solves the problem, then turn off the indexing serrvice from automatically
running at startup. You don't need the indexing service

Hi,

I have redeveloped a system that uses Excel as its front end. There have
been some changes to the backend i.e a version update, and it appears to slow
things down. The CPU's are fine but after prolonged usage excel slowly grinds
to a halt.

Is there a way to write some code to clear the RAM? I might hard code it in
or put it on a button for the user to chose to clear the RAM.

Thanks

Nathan
