>We've got an application that has tables that are quite large, 500 Meg+ with 1.5 Gig memo files, and I won't even mention the CDX size. I'm writing up a proposal for archiving off old data as the system is really only working with about the most recent 20% of these files.

A size of any .DBF, FPT or CDX file is limited to 2GB. Your application will blow up when it's reached and table will be corrupted.
