SYMPTOMS
A &quot;Not enough disk space&quot; error occurs in Microsoft FoxPro, even though the MS-DOS DIR command indicates that plenty of space is available.

CAUSE
An insufficient number of file handles is specified in the system configuration file (CONFIG.SYS), or not enough disk space exists to execute the command. This message may also occur if the owner of the file has limited space available on the network.

RESOLUTION
To address this situation, do the following:


 * 1) Modify the FILES statement in your CONFIG.SYS file to increase the number of file handles available.
 * 2) If your CONFIG.SYS file or AUTOEXEC.BAT file loads the SHARE program, increase the values specified in the /F and /L parameters.
 * 3) Close FoxPro and run the MS-DOS CHKDSK command (CHKDSK /F).

Additional Steps If You Are Using Novell NetWare

 * 1) In the Novell NetWare environment, modify the FILE HANDLES statement in the SHELL.CFG file to increase the number of file handles available.
 * 2) In the Novell NetWare environment, issue the NDIR command. If FoxPro had failed to access a file where the owner is listed as &quot;N/A,&quot; give the file a proper owner.
