[AccessD] "Out of Memory" Error ... VBA Export to Excel

Hi Jim:

No, I don't think so. This has happened on the first run after a reboot, and
I haven't been able to identify any open processes using task manager even
after a run completed.

Would saving (before the last worksheet generated), closing the instance of
excel, then re-opening excel possibly solve this? Like I said, these are
pretty large files. 

Thanks.

Is it possible old instances of Excel are still in memory? Excel loves to
hang around even when you think you have properly closed it from previous
runs. Use task manager to see if this is the case. If it is there are a
number of voodoo rituals availasble to kill the zombies.

Hi Folks:

I have a fairly complex application that dynamically creates an excel
workbook and worksheets from VBA (formatting is done via an Excel template),
then populates the sheets with data from recordsets, as well as formulas
using named ranges. Typically, when they're finished generating, they weigh
in at about 5-6 megabytes. 

While they generate OK on my development machine with 2gb RAM, the larger
exports have been failing at the last worksheet when I run it on a machine
with 1gb or less total RAM. Basically, the export stops and Access displays
a message box stating "Out of Memory". 

I've been closing the recordset objects, setting them to "nothing", but I'm
still getting the error.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks in advance.
