Thanks, but I have no control over the computers of people using my application. Of course this is not a problem for my own system, but believe me, there are millions of people ot there with such old systems.

Who says you have no control? Why not just indicate operating systems that support files larger than 2GB in the requirements for your application? Or more specifically, state that they must have a good operating system in order to use Multimedia data collections that are individually larger than 2GB. Those with less capable operating systems can explicitely use multiple data collections (SQLite files), or keep theirs under 2GB. That's how I suggest you deal with the problem. Trying to support larger files on operating systems that aren't designed for it is a cludge and probably won't help a lot of people. The only reason I see you may have to go to a lot of trouble is if you were explicitely given requirements that the application must support files over 2GB on Windows 95. -- Darren Duncan
