access 97 - not enough memory to update display...

I got this message running an application on a terminal server, but my
laptop development copy doesn't get this error

So I've been pinpointing the problem,
formA has command button to open frmB
formB has subformC
subformC has command button to open dialog formD
dialog formD has combo box with 3 items in the list, and an OK
command button

If I open all the forms till formD is open, and then I hit the OK
button, I get the 'not enough' memory error

note, there is no vba code in formD, and only enough vba code in
subformC to open the formD
and I have the BE on another server

is there a limit to the number of open forms ?
is there a problem with opening formD in dialog mode ?
terminal server is dual processor with .5GB memory, with 10 ms-access
users
could that be the problem ?

I can't just put the combo box on subformC, because formD will have
other controls

any ideas ?

It is an Access 97 bug.

The sr2b service pack for office 97 may fix it.

I had a work around, but so far I can't find it.

I''ve got SR2, so that's not the fix
so I opened formD in normal mode, and used a public variable to
simulate a 'dialog' form
seems to work ... but I need to do more testing

There were 3 SR2 patches verify that it is SR2b.
