Yes the 2GB limit is still in VFP 6. That limit is not involved with the OS at all (although it began because that was the OS limit). The limit is involved with teh locking scheme that is used by VFP and changing that would render a new version of VFP uable to coexist with older versions sharing the same data.
Can you post the structure of this table and perhaps we can help you in finding a way to avoid the limitation altogether?
