Re: Strange "Malloc failed on server" error
We had this happen recently and it was actually a low space condition on C: partition on the server. We cleared some space and rebooted the server to fix the problem (Windows Server 2003, ARS 6.03 P16) -- we had regular forms as well as display only forms that did not display properly. To fix the clients, I simply opened the form they reported, moved a field slightly, and resaved to tell the clients the form changed. The clients then re-cached the form and everything was fine. We had one client where I had to go to the client system and clear the folder where the forms are cached because it wasn't updating. I would expect the low space error is actually on your server and not on the clients.

Re: Strange "Malloc failed on server" error
Sounds like a memory leak from the client. You probably get it the first time you open the form because that's when it's attempting to pull down the .arf and .arv cache files. Subsequent times it just opens the incomplete cache files, so no error, but you see the blank form. You mention images on the form - make sure the images you use aren't corrupted, or too large. I once used a .bmp file by mistake - the file was ~1Mb - and that caused malloc errors on the clients. Best to use as small an image file as possible - like JPG format. Barring that, your best bet would be to uninstall the client, remove (or rename) the install directory, and reinstall. -Aaron * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Pruitt Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 1:31 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Strange "Malloc failed on server" error I have searched this entire list and have not found anyone who speaks about an issue of "Malloc failed on server" like we are seeing.

Re: Strange "Malloc failed on server" error
I assume that the arerr number is 300? Is the form doing anything on "display/open"? (ie: refresh a table field, perform a query, etc?) And of course, what does a API+SQL Log show at this time?
