If NZ police are still in DOS (developed in 4.5), my experiance is that limitation of SCONNECT / SATTACH are to severe. In windows version it works better

Frank, There is actually another possible approach to the 2 GB limit problem, and that is to divide your database into two RBASE databases, and use SCONNECT / SATTACH when connected to database A to reference tables in database B. I have not made extensive use of this technique, but I believe there are members of this list who have, so you might hear from them -- We'll all do our best to keep you in the good graces of the NZ Police. . . .
