Hi Everyone,  
  
I keep getting this broker error message with my application, but I couldn’t find this code in the EntireX documentation. Just wondering if anyone knows what it is and how to fix it.  
  
Broker Error 0037 0042: ATTR: BUFFER-LIMIT for Service reached  
  
Thanks,  
Paul

that error is in the documentation.  
your attribute file has limited the number of short and/or long buffers for the particular service you were trying to call, and that limit has been reached.
