Hi Corinne,
it could also have been the allocation of the storage memory that
failed. That's a worse case, because this memory gets not cleared on soft
reset.
MTeam might have created some large databases under different CreatorID.
Such databases are not automatically uninstalled by the OS, when the application
is deleted. (Because the OS does not know to whom they belong.)
Restore helps, if you have a state that is older than the problem.
Things like this can also be solved using tools such as Install manager.
(Or Uninstall Manager? - I don't remember.)
Or by manual analysis using some file manager. (Our Explorer has one handy
function - RAM / Context menu / Special filter / Show Orphaned. It substantially
reduces the list of DBs to check.)
In any case, looking at the memory idicators (amount of dyn. RAM
and storage memory) gives a basic indication where to look for the
problem.
With best regards,

Thanks for the reply.
Soft reset did not work, hence the need to get an understanding of
what was going on. Did a hard reset and hot sync and all is now
OK, after I had done a backup with RescoBackup of course.
Regards
Corinne

Just a general advice.
If the error says "could
not allocate memory", then I would assume that it
cannot allocate
memory. Probably dynamic memory, I guess. Maybe some app
that did not
release allocated memory. (MTeam?)
Find some tool that will show
you the amount of available memory. (I am not
going to mention our
tools on this forum.)
Or do the easiest thing = soft
reset.
With best regards,
