out of string space

[Tony Williams]

I have a subform where the first field is a combo box. When I click on it I
get an error message that says "out of string space " The value shows even
though this message appears. Anyone know what this means I've searched Help
and can't find anything?

Hi

You are generating Error Code 14

You posted:

You attempted to create a string object, but could not because you have used up
all your system memory. This could be a result of a dynamically allocated array
growing too large, or the instantiation of a large number of objects.

To correct this error

Use the Erase statement to reallocate dynamic-array storage space.
Use the ReDim statement to reallocate storage space.
Close any unnecessary applications, documents, or source files that are open.

Thanks for that advice. I have 512mb system ram and a huge virtual memory so
I'm surprised at the cause. I did reboot and the problem went away but I've
never seen that before.
