FYI, After working with Ron on a crashing problem related to the Redim memory leak problem, it appears that for the Mac x86 platform you will get crashing (it works fine for PPC). So this means there is probably no workaround for the problem or I haven't thought of one yet. The good news is it appears RB 2008R2 will fix the problem which will require you to upgrade to R2 if you want it to work correctly. I am still investigating the details and will post more information as I discover it.
