I told them they could purge some records or sit on it till Saturday and they decided they'd be ok with purging some records...
Thank you both for your help, Jake -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Wjhonson Sent: Monday, July 02, 2012 11:08 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] File error Personally, what I would do right now, is to create another file as your "temporary holding place" if you will. Then select, perhaps on a date range, everything earlier than... 2005 or whatever, and read it, write it to the new location and delete it from where it's at. That will solve your problem *today* which it that NO NEW RECORDS can be written. Big problem isn't it? Now how to solve your problem tomorrow? You can make it 64BIT which might be a nice weekend overtime job for you Or you can decide to create a distributed file, which again means you need an exclusive file lock. So hopefully they can live with not being able to access these old records for a week. -----Original Message----- From: mhilbert <mhilb...@ppcsoftware.com> To: u2-users <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Mon, Jul 2, 2012 9:02 am Subject: Re: [U2] File error If this were a dynamic file, you would have to create a new file adding the phrase 64BIT. I don't know if the phrase is valid for non-dynamic files.

Use a distributed or 64-bit file. I get why we're getting the message, I'm wondering, what is the easiest/safest way to fix it? I could purge records if necessary but they would prefer not doing this. We're running 10.0.21 on Windows server 2003 32 bit.
