John -
any file accessed in vfp has a limit of 2 gig.
Congrats - you just hit it .
This is a published limitation.
I hope you did NOT spend any real Support Call Money on an incident with Microsoft.

Ken Levy - I am surprised at you - you could have simply pointed him to the docs and said 'Yup - thats right - 2 gig limitation on low level files - NOT A BUG'

mondo regards [Bill]
