I think i hit the max size of 2 gigs
I realy dont know sql to well i would like to keep running access. Is there any hope for me? or do i have to go to SQL?
 
That's mighty big for Access. Have you compacted this lately?
You could split the db if you haven't already done this. Also you may consider moving some tables to a multiple dbs. The tables could be then linking to the front end.

Remember Access was not designed for high volume industrial size work. I recall seeing an article from Microsoft or MSDN that defined the three database products: Access, FoxPro and SQL Server. This article went on the describe the metrics that should be applied when deciding up a DBMS. I tried to search the site a few minutes ago to no avail. Perhaps u can look... Steve Medvid

i would recommend the link-table method....that should keep it happy for quite some time, involves no sql & you should be able to convert it fairly easily (assuming it is not a flat table db).
