Out of Memory?
Hi All......
I'm working on a Excel97 Program that has several hundred macros. My office computer (833mhz, 512mb RAM) has started giving me a "Microsoft Visual Basic Out of Memory" error message. Sometimes it will go away if I click ok about 20-25 times, sometimes not. The same file runs fine on my laptop (366mhz, 96MB RAM).....just recently MIS put a icon in my systray about "Webroot Spy Sweeper".....might they have finally added the "straw", or could something else maybe be causing this problem. I don't have the same problem on simpler Excel files on the same computer, but DO have it on other complicated files. TIA Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 |

Everything you wanted to know about Excel Memory but were affraid to ask...

Out of Memory?
That's interesting Jim, thanks, but my problem persists.
My filesize is less than 2MB =INFO("memused") reports less than 5MB The file runs fine on a system that has half the processor speed and 20% the RAM of the offending system with the only other difference being the machine that won't run is Win98SE (on a network) and the little one that will is WINMe stand alone. This would kinda/sorta infer that the problem is machine-related. Also, FYI, I run this file off my pocket Jump Drive,(not the network) so it's "really" the same file that will work on one machine and not on the other.......maybe some kind of a setting in Excel..........the file opens fine on both systems, I just get this Out of Memory" pop-up when I try to go to the VBE. One more thing I just noticed......both systems are Excel97, but the offending one is SR-2 and the one that works is SR-1........could the problem be therein?

Out of Memory?
While the macro is running check out the memory usage in the Task Manager to
get an accurate reading of how much memory Excel I actually using. Caompare this to the addressable memory listed on that site that I sent you. I highly doubt that your issue is machine related. The service pack issue is a more likely cause. The new service pack could be doing something that ups the memory usage... -- HTH...

There is no macro running........I only open the book, right-click on the
MainMenu tab and choose ViewCode, and that's when I get the "Out of Memory" pop-up,....it won't do anything from there.......

What does your task manager say the memory usage on excel is just prior to
opening the VBE and just after? -- HTH...

Excel has a limit and I was just wondering what the OS thought that the
system was using. If I recall correctly the PLDT virus could chew up some memory. Well still be here tomorrow... -- HTH...

Out of Memory?
Hi again..........
Here at home I have WinMe and Excel2k, 512MB RAM, 1.2ghz AMD processor................I just used the System Monitor to measure 47MB difference in unused memory just by starting Excel, then 6mb more by opening my WorkBook, and then no noticible difference by starting the VBE, and/or by firing a macro that inserts about 300 VLOOKUP formulas into one of the 39 sheets............. Keep in mind, the Workbook works fine on the little laptop with only 96MB RAM, and Excel97SP-1, as it does here at home on XL2k. The only place I'm having trouble with it is the machine at work on the LAN with Excel97SP-2......there, the VBE just will not open anymore, responding "Out of Memory".

Out of Memory?
Two things I'd try,
1\ Don't run the file from your "Jump Drive". Copy it to your hard drive first and run it from there. 2\ Download Rob Bovey's Code Cleaner utility and see if it helps.

Out of Memory?
Ok Vic..........I appreciate the comeback and will give those things a try
when I get to work this morning.........I have a detour first, have to take our 20yo Tuxedo cat to the Vet for her weekly injection........that is my TOP priority. Your suggestions won't explain why the file works fine from the Jump drive on a lesser machine and a greater machine, but not on the offending one which is on a network......, but I'm sure my code could use a lot of cleaning up, so that will be a good thing in any event.......... I still feel the "Out of Memory" problem I'm having lies in the difference between the SR-1 and SR-2, and/or excessive intervention on the network.........neither of which I know much about.

Out of Memory?
Okey........
I put the file on my C: drive of the offending machine and I still have the "Out of Memory" problem when I try to start the VBE. I obtained and ran Rob Bovey's Code Cleaner and I also still have the problem. Any other ideas please?

Out of Memory?
Hi Jim.......
I don't know about "task manager", don't know how to use it or where it's at.......I used "System Monitor" on the offending machine and it opened up at about 475mb "allocated memory" which went up to near the 512 limit when starting Excel and then maked out at the 512 line when I opened my file..........must be some vermin there somewheres.......I called MIS three days ago but they havent had time to get to me yet........it's a great life Now sometimes I get the "Out of Memory" error just upon opening the file, but only on this one machine........I'm pretty well convinced, it's either the SR-2 or the network monitors.......but MIS has controls on this thing so I can't even boot up without being on the network, so I can't eliminate that part.

Out of Memory?
Do you have the zoom set to 100% on all sheets? Not being at 100% was a
source for out of memory errors in xl97. Also, charts used to be troublesome and it had something to do with font scaling - but I would think the later SP would be more resiliant than the early one, but one never knows. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "CLR" wrote in message ...

Out of Memory?
Thanks for the reply Tom......It's time to leave today, but I will check that
out tomorrow for sure.....I have 39 sheets and 36 of them are set to 50%......but of course the file does run on other machines without the "Out of Memory" error.......

Out of Memory?
Hi Tom.........
Well, the problem seems to have changed a bit.....NOW, I get the "Out of Memory" error immediately upon opening the file, whether from my jump drive or the C:\ dirve.....I did go ahead and change all 36 sheets to 100% zoom as you suggested, and I have no charts involved, but the problem remains...... The following, all running the same file either from my Jump Drive or when copied to the individual c:\ drives..... 366 Laptop, WIN98SE, 96mbRAM, XL97SR-1, no network, file works fine 1.2 Desktop, WINMe, 512mbRAM, XL2k, no network, file works fine 866 Desktop, WIN98SE, 512mbRAM, XL97SR-2, company network, "Out of Memory" error, WAS occuring only when I tried to open VBE, NOW occurs immediately upon starting the file.....clicking it off about 25 times clears the dialog box but when I try to do INsert Name Define, I get another type error message about not enough memory, etc.......same with just pressing F5. I have about 50 "buttons" with macros assigned to them, maybe 200 named ranges, about 200 small macros in regular modules, and both "Activate" and "Deactivate" macros on each of the 36 Matrix sheets.....I shouldn't think this would be "too much", as the file does run on two of the three machines. Any other ideas? Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: Do you have the zoom set to 100% on all sheets? Not being at 100% was a source for out of memory errors in xl97.
