Maximum number of recordes imported into Filemake database 2

[jware]

I am having problems importing a file into filemaker that contain 241157 300 character records. The import ends after importing 228887 records. Byte count of the database after
import is 105,669 KB. The disk still has over 40 GB of free space. I have tried this import on two different computers and the import always end with same record count. Is there a maximum file size for filemaker files? If not, any ideas
where I should look?
I am using version 5.5 and Windows XP Pro.
Thanks.

The maximum file size is 2 gigs according to Filemakers website.

Have you tried taking the records that didn't import the first time and seeing if you could add just those records?

Thanks, Steven B, your reply is helpful.
I downloaded a utility called VEDIT and took a look at
the file I am importing and found that the next record
after the termination has some odd characters that filemaker
might be seeing as an EOF, or something.

make an import script that will halt the process IF Errors encountered...then u can examine the record that caused it.
