>Alex, could you clarify why VFP9 will help in this situation? As far as I know, it still has the 2 GBt limit.

You misread the message. There is nothing in VFP9 about the 2Gb limit (i.e. no changes).
I was referring to the comments on the original message about moving customers from VFP6.0 to VFP9Beta. That's all.
