Is there a API call or something that I can use to tell how much RAM a
user have on there machine??  I can tell free memory/total memory but
that includes swapfile space.

Thanks,

If you can't find anything that will do that, just use the value you
have (total RAM including the swap file), then get the value
SwapFileSize from SYSTEM.INI under [386Enh] and subtract. Easy, isn't
it?

If you are using Windows NT or 95
you could try the
GlobalMemoryStatus API

I believe it is a Sub

'In Bas Mod

        Type udt_lpmstMemStat
                dwLength        
as Long
                dwMemoryLoad    
as Long
                dwTotalPhys    
as Long
                dwAvailPhys    
as Long
                dwTotalPageFile
as Long
                dwAvailPageFile
as Long
                dwTotalVirtual  
as Long
                dwAvailVirtual  
as Long
        End Type

        Declare Sub
GlobalMemoryStatus Lib "kernel32"
(lpBuffer As MEMORYSTATUS)

Private Sub Command1_click()

        Dim
AvailablePhysicalMemory as Long
        Dim lpmstMemStat as
udt_lpmstMemStat

        Call
GlobalMemoryStatus(lpmstMemStat)

        AvailablePhysicalMemory =
lpmstMemStat.dwAvailPhys

        MsgBox
Str(AvailablePhysicalMemory)

End Sub

I have no idea if this works, I
only have the C API's on hand so
Good Luck.
