    The provider told me tha te system is built in version 5 of VFP the os is windows 2000 and it has all de actualizations, and it doesn't use ActiveX, someone told me that this problem may be caused by  the pc memory, what do you think

    When you post your specs make sure and include what version of VFP, any service packs applied, OS Version and basic info re the machine it is on. 

    Does the app use any ActiveX

    You also need to watch and observe what is being done just before the crash.  It is likely something in the code is triggering this event.  Unfortunately these types of problems can be a real PIA to debug, because they are often not consistant.  Thankfully at least for me, they tend to be rare.

    Refer your provider to this: 

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;168277

    Since that's the exact address in question I suspect that may be the problem. 

    VFP5 is almost ten years old, I would suggest it's time for an upgrade.
