title: MS Access: There isn't enough memory to perform this operation
body: <p>I'm using Access 2003 on a duo-core machine with 4GB of RAM, running Windows XP (Service Pack 3)  [5.1.2600]</p>
  
  <p>Periodically, I get an error msg "There isn't enough memory to perform this operation. Close unneeded programs and try the operation again."</p>
  
  <p>A check of Task Manager indicates that there is plenty of free memory. Closing other open programs makes no difference.</p>
  
  <p>This happens sporadically, and under different circumstances: sometimes whilst saving Form design or VBA code changes, sometimes when several Forms are open and in use.</p>
  
  <p>If attempting to save design changes, and this error occurs, the Access objects are corrupted and can't be recovered.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on what might be causing this would be very welcome.</p>
