The size limit of access 2002 is 2 gigs.
So, if you take a average name in a mailing list, add a few extra
fields...your record size might be about 120 characters on average in size.
So, the number of records you can store is:
2 gig / 120 = 32 million records
So, the limit is NOT the number of records..but "how many" records you can
fit into 2 gig.
Of course, if each customer name only takes up 60 characters...then you can
store 64 million records in the file.
How many records do you plan to store? In real terms, I don't think anyone
would store close to the actual limits of the file size for ms-access when
not using sql server. I think in real terms....a few hundred thousands
records is certainly fine with ms-access.
So, a file file with 100,000 records in ms-access is rather small....
