"Program too big to fit in memory" ERROR

I am writning this in Visual Basic for DOS and or Qbasic. It basicly asks a few questions and forms a long command string for another Dos app exe. But when I shell the external dos app with the string of command-line options it comes back "Program to big to fit in memory".

Really I would like to lauch the external dos exe and my program can end at that point. Any ways I can get around this? Possbale to load the app in a different memory block or somthing? Let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks,
Kevin

Run your VB program from a batch file. When the VB program ends, run the other app. You'll probably have to write the command line to a text file and have the batch file read it.

Or you can write a very small app to launch your app, then close your app and launch the other app.
