>One thing about Access though is it's limited database size 2GB or 4GB depending on version I believe, compared to VFP

VFP is also tied to the 2GB limit...but since that's per file, VFP's database, which is a collection of separate files, can be larger than the single Access MDB.

You should clarify whether you are talking about using the MSDE or Jet engines.
