As I understand it (from the help file), tables that are not shared have a size limit of 2Gb. Shared tables that have a size limit of 2Gb for those with CDXs while those with out CDxs are limited to 1Gb.

I don't know if the limit includes all the table files (DBF, CDX, FRT) since I never reached that threshold yet.

>Okay, yes, I will experiment copying some files over rather than all the files, that's a good idea, thanks. Also, I will run Stonefield on the experimental copy to recover what I can. We are well below the limit of number of records. The last thing I need advice on now is: What is the limit in FPW for a .DBF file? 1GB or 2GB? The documentation says one thing in the chart and another in a footnote on the same page. Do you know? I may post it as a new question.
