Basic Question

Hi,

May be it is silly question, I want to know is there any limit of forms/tables/classes to be created in Project Manager?

Thanks

It's not a silly question.

There is no theoretical limit on the contents of the Project Manager.

Keep in mind that the Project Manager is in fact an ordinary VFP table: a DBF file (with a different extension) and an accompanying memo file. These files are subject to their own limits. Neither file can go above 2 GB; and there is a limit of one billion records in a file.

But those limits are so high that you can in practice forget about them. To all intents and purposes, you can assume that you can put as many forms, reports, etc. as you like in your project.

Neither file can go above 2 GB; and there is a limit of one billion records in a file.

And the reality is that you'll never get anywhere near a billion records. You'll exceed the 2GB limit before reccount() can possibly hit a billion.

An application I work on for 14 years now has a project folder size of about 400MB, excluding the database(s), which are in the LAN and mostly SQL Server in this case. EXE itself has the size of 7.6MB and _vfp.activeproject.Files.Count tells me I have 484 files in the Project, the PJX table has 489 records. But that is already a pretty big application.

So you won't hit the limitations, unless you plan to do something weird.

Bye, Olaf.
