It's nice to see others chiming in on this. WE ALL have to make RB
understand that this isn't acceptable for those of us who have been
with RB for many years, and those of us who DEPEND on RB as we have
used it for so many years. Although you have 2005, I'll bet you
still have to pay and pay to get the possibility of upgrading for
Universals. That was a problem immediate enough for us, but we got
half lucky because our app works under Rosetta. BUT...how much money
have they collected, knowing these problems exist, and keep
collecting, and the problems still exist? One thing I will say about
RB...at least for me, complaints like this have never fallen on deaf
ears. They at least responded with something. But NOW? I just
don't get it.

My project is similar in size. From RB 1.0 to 4.5 I upgraded as
soon as it came out. After the 4.5, I changed to upgrading at the
end of the cycle, and skipping some, for example the 5.0 series,
which I have but never used. At present, my strategy is to avoid
anything newer than 5.5 for as long as I can. Got 2005 but I'm not
using it. The only reason for me to update right now, is to be able
to compile for Intel Macs, whenever that occurs. I guess the advise
is to consider carefully if you have something you desperately need
i the newer version.

Upgrade your hardware. That is memory, CPU, disk and probably your
screen size. Oh, and don't forget to increase the length of your
keyboard's cable.

No seriously. You probably came across a few of my older threads
about
these problems with large project files. I have little hope that REAL
is going to fix these problems anytime in the near future (except
bugs
like growing file sizes).
IMHO there are probably a lot of reasons they are making RB 200x what
it is today. In many aspects its a great app, no question. But it has
to be usable and not bloated, for big projects (>3-4 MB) it's simply
not possible to work efficent. Right now I'm still stuck with 5.5.5
(which is not being updated anymore), and I'm scared to make the move
to 2006 since we had a few test drives on this already.

Hi List:
I have recently upgraded to RB2006r1 from RB 5.5. After several
days
of finding the cause of Failed Assertion crashes and fixing those, I
finally was able to get my app to compile. During this process, I
found many things that totally surprised me...Please Note:
