>LOL, on all of my entire time working with V.F.P. I've been thinking on 2 millions.. hehehe.. very funny stuff.. Just by now I realize it is
two thousand million.. Not, two million...
That's why I said, worry only about the number of bytes. I always deemed the part of the manual that says "limit, 1 billion records" as completely superfluous - because you can never get more than that, without breaking the other limit. 2 billion bytes / 2 bytes per record = 1 billion records - and no record can have less than 2 bytes (one byte for the smallest field, one byte for the deletion mark).
Probably the only reason you are limited to 1 billion records is, because there is a 2 billion limit on the number of bytes.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
