>Yes, it is a dbf that has reached the limit. But I remember seeing some solutions to get the data out of the file. I believe they were low level functions. That is what I am looking for.
There is no easy solution. Otherwise, I would have done it since a very long time. Redesigning is applicable in such a case. You will have to consider what is best for you. Many would consider breaking up the DBF into subsets such as having an annual DBF per year, if applicable, for exemple. Then, this would mean you would have to adjust your data engine to take care of all that.
