System Resources or Memory

I am designing a database (Access 2000) at home and about
an hour after I've been working on it I start getting this
error message that says "The system is out of resources or
memory. Close unneeded programs & try again." I am using
Windows 98 on a Pentium II processor with 288 MB of RAM.
I have plenty of available memory and don't know why I am
having this problem.

It just seems to be when I am working on this one
particular database when this happens. Once it starts, it
does it in about half hour intervals from that point on.
I do not have anything else open and the only way I can
continue working on the database is to shut down the
entire computer and do a Restart.

I don't have any problems like this if I am working on any
other programs. I constantly compact and repair the
database while I'm working on it, I have run Spy Sweeper,
Scan Disk and Defragmented my system, and I continue to
have problems with this database.

Can anyone help? I don't know what else to look into or
how to resolve this issue. How can I avoid having this
happen in the future?

Thank you in advance for any assistance that can be
offered.

Do you have a whole bunch of code windows open in the VB Editor? That
can chew up resources like anything. If this is the problem, close all
but the one you're working on, then make a trivial change in that one,
like adding a space to the end of the line (just to flag the VB project
as "dirty"), and then click the Save button.

Are you working with images in this database?
