I don't know about the white paper, but what I know about table sizes is the following:
In VFP, the size each table (and other files) is limited to 2 GB.
In Access, the entire database can have no more than 2 GB.
SQL Server is designed for larger systems (I don't know the exact limits, but it must be some TB at least), but MSDN, the basically free version, is limited to 2 GB for the entire database.

I would be very appreciative if someone could tell me if a current version of that 'White Paper' exist and how to download a copy of it. I've searched Microsofts website and have not found any reference to it. Maybe I just don't know where to look or how to define the search critera. TIA.
