Does anyone know the max records Access can hold before it
brings a network to its knees? |

In the help file, type "specifications" to see the limits for your version
off access. Obviously "bringing the network to it's knees" would depend on what you are doing. I have a database with 15,000 records. Most queries/forms/reports run very smoothly. Some (like union tables) can take minutes to load. Rick B "Ronda" wrote in message ... Does anyone know the max records Access can hold before it brings a network to its knees? |

I have a questionaire database (normalized like Duane
Hookom) taught us :-) It'll have about half a million records in the answer table. Does anyone know if there are any problems with this amount of records? On the plus side the big tbale only has 3 fiels: ID, QuestionID, AnswerID Thanks for any input. |

No explicit limit....hard limits are on file size. I have a table with 148K
records that pretty much flies. -- Kevin Hill President 3NF Consulting www.3nf-inc.com/NewsGroups.htm www.DallasDBAs.com/forum - new DB forum for Dallas/Ft. Worth area DBAs. "Ronda" wrote in message ... Does anyone know the max records Access can hold before it brings a network to its knees? |

With a unique index on ID, and nonunique indexes on the other two fields; and with regular compaction, Access can handle this OK. The biggest Access app of which I'm aware has a hundred times more records than yours. John W.
