Default Table Row Limit Size?

Thanks to all who answered.

Your words were helpful in enhancing the client's view of the situation!!

A few weeks ago we had a contest to see who could squeeze the most rows
into
an Access table. The winner had over 133 million rows! Of course that
table
had just one column containing just one character per record. In the real
world I've seen Access tables with over 2 million records and perform OK.
160K records shouldn't be a problem if the tables are normalized properly.

Rule #1. Clients, bosses, and users lie.
Rule #2. When they swear that they aren't lying, see Rule #1.

Is there a maximum number of rows advised in an Access 2003 table?

Client says table with 160,000 rows is not allowed, and an MS support
engineer agreed with him.

I've never heard of this, and in fact the database has been operating
with a
table that large for several years.

If there is no such actual or recommended limit, can someone please
direct
me to an official source that says that?

Thanks very much.

Alan

That response may not be suitable for a public newsgroup, as it is
particularly caustic...

We'll need to get one of the acid-tongued trolls to reply to
neutralize it.
