ie.,
 
Incredible but true... we now have definitive solutions to *ALL* low memory warnings .
 
 
 
EM Memory Reporter and EM Advanced Diagnostics Toolkit should RESOLVE **EVERY FILE BASED MEMORY ISSUE**  (both found on  the  www.EccoTools.com board).
 
 
 
and if there is anyone with a memory issue they don't solve, well,
 
please let me know!!
 
 
 
note: Ecco when running will sometimes 'use up' memory because it forgets sometimes to release pointers it creates (for example in turning on and off filters [which Slang extension btw, fixes])
 
so.. even on 100% healthy files... if too many 'memory complex' stuff  files are loaded/unloaded from the same ecco session,  etc. etc.,   you can get an 'out of memory' type error from ecco.  
 
BUT...  by shutting down ecco (sometimes need to end the ecco process in process manager),   and simply restarting the ecco program,
 
the 'error'  is 'cured'  and your file works great.
 
 
 
I get often (and am happy to help) private emails about memory errors,  for example:
 
"I have recently experienced the same problem and have used the utility to aquire the following numbers: 18,133 Items*; 9,357 View Lines; 1,069 Pointers; (47,394 free).  It appears I am nowhere near the program limits, but I am unable to enter any new appointments.  Any suggestions to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated...***"
 
 
 
and the solution (NOW) is simple:
 
 
if EM Memory Reporter shows no Global memory problem...
 
see what the EM Advanced Diagnostics Toolkit (Freeware) shows.... (and yes, watchdog is great, but confusing with so many non-helpful numbers and critically missing the helpful number you actually need-- the actual amount of free memory in the file structure)
 
 
then test your file with the EM-ADT program.
 
 
 
The invesitgation behind & the development of the  EM-ADT was huge.
 
Hopefully the its release is "HelpWare" will be positive and supportive for our community.
 
 
 
This is a program *EVERYONE* who uses Ecco should have.  
 
 
(Maybe someone who is using it,  will share their view).
 
 
 
 
 
You can get it FREE  by just joining our efforts of mutual help and sharing.
 
 
or,  if someone is too busy,  or just doesn't like that sort of thing,  or is more comfortable as an 'active listener',  fair enough.   They are welcome to purchase the tool and help support the monthly costs of our server for the EM forums.
 
 
 
but,  in either case....
 
 
 
if you are having memory issues (and actually, even if you're are not),
 
 
test the file with the EM Memory reporter,
 
if you show more than 5,000 units of free memory,
 
test the file with the EM-ADT.
 
 
 
 so... from now on...
 
here's to our happy & secure eccoing!!
