Win2K Program too big to fit in memory

I’m calling a bat file from within a bit of code written in a dos based database program. When called from within the code the error message “Program too big to fit in memory” is generated. I can see only part of the command line of the bat file on the screen – like it cannot complete the command. The bat file then fails to function.

However, if I “shell to DOS” (the same process the call to the bat file does) and run the bat file it excutes perfectlly.

I’ve modified config.nt to read:
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
EMM = A=20 RAM
FILES=50
buffers=50

Is there a way to determine that I am using this config.nt file? These changes have not solved the problem.

Any other clues?

Thanks,

JOHN
