I'm somewhat curious about the error message you are getting
> Now I'm getting this error when I try to save all: > > [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Database has > reached maximum size. The fact that the error message is mentioning ODBC makes me think that your administrator has set up protels *.ddb database (renamed access database extension (*.mdb)) in the odbc "Data sources" applet in the "Control Panel->Administrative Tools" folder... If this is the case then perhaps you might want to get in touch with the sys admin and see if they've put a limit on the database size. The reason I'm suggesting this is because unless the database has been assigned to ODBC, it shouldn't be using ODBC at all! ODBC = Open Data Base Connectivity is used for sharing a database with other apps that are not designed to specifically use that database's interface. For example using ODBC you can acces "DBase" database's with Microsoft Acces... but if the Dbase database is password protected then you are going to need that password in ms access. Since protel's ddb file is password protected by the protel app, using ODBC is a waste of time since if you wanted to acces the dbb's data with another application using odbc you wouldn't be able to get acces to it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robison Michael R CNIN" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Protel EDA Forum'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 12:22 AM Subject: [PEDA] Database maxed ! > Hello, > > Well it looks like I'm in serious trouble now.
