>how to solve the problem , when the database (dbf) file is more than 2GB. Because that would not allow to add new data . thank's

Some things you might do:
  • Split the table vertically - put some fields into another table.
  • Split the table horizontally - by client, date, geographic region.
  • Put image (General) fields, or large memo fields, into separate files - keep only the filename in your database.
  • Try other size optimizations, for example, using integer fields instead of N(8).

    But if you have too much data, in the long run the only practical solution might be a client/server solution - using a database server that doesn't have a 2 GB limitation.
