Kenneth,

NT does not have the 2G limit. I don't know what the limit is, but it's very, very large. Personally, I'm not that concerned about the limit in VFP. I would usually use SQL Server with a data set that large anyway. Of course, there are applications where VFP would be the best solution if it could handle larger tables. Sometimes it makes sense to break the data into multiple tables, other times another product is the best solution.

>I have heard conflicting stories as to whether or not NT has the same 2GB limit on file size that earlier versions of Windows had. In fact, it's not an area where I have many clear facts at all.
