It has nothing to do with System 7. The amount of memory needed is related  
to the sizes of the open windows (presumably unchanged) and also the  
number of colors. If his machine is using 24-bit color, say, he might try  
switching to 8-bit color, or increasing the partition size for  
FoxBASE+/Mac (assuming he's using MultiFinder), or adding more memory.

I was getting this problem with an application I was developing.
I traced it down to the any screen commands I performed.  Apparently,
when I moved from an SE (mono) to my IIsi (8 bit color), it assumed
(even forced) every window was 8 bit color.  This requires a bit
more memory.  I called Fox Technical Support - they claimed it was
a problem with the operating system.  Gee, all my other application
can open mono window and not cry for 3-4 Megs of memory.  Try the
following commands, they may help.

  SET COLOR TO
    This sets the screen to the <default> B/W.

  SET INTENSITY OFF
    This turns off the enhanced screen attributes.


Good Luck.

Had the same problem with applications done on my Quadra when put on a
LocalTalk network of  a IIci, and 2 LC IIs. If I recall correctly, we just
changed the memory allocation in the Get Info Box and the problem went away.
