VB6 SP6 IDE array allocation limit

[FWinds]

Hi everyone,

Is there any known workaround to the apparent limit of array allocation in VB6 (SP6) IDE?

For example, this one will fail with an "Out of memory" error in IDE:

Option Explicit
Private sngArray() As Single
Private Sub Form_Load()
    ReDim sngArray(150000000) '150M
End Sub

But the compiled .exe will run this fine:

Option Explicit
Private sngArray() As Single
Private Sub Form_Load()
    ReDim sngArray(400000000) '400M
End Sub

Thanks in advance!

edit: Compiling to P-Code will also successfully run the 400M test
