>>In addition to what Jim and Ed said, the 2GB limit is caused by the locking mechanism used for locking records. At the 2GB limit, are shadow records that don't really exits. It is the shadow records that are locked when a user locks records. This is the solution to the inability to read records locked by another process on some operating systems. When 64 bit VFP is released, larger file sizes will be supported.

I would think that if they are going to be making that sort of change to the kernel, there's a whole laundry list of changes that would go along with it (but that's a topic for another thread, or better yet, for wishlist e-mail to Microsoft).

After 64bit NT is release, they have to release a 64bit VFP, don't they?
