Does anyone know what is the maximum number of records that Access 2000 can handle in a single table? Or where I can find the information? I've searched the Microsoft MSDN site to no avail.

TIA,

Kevin
 
Theoretically, the number of rows is only limited by the maximum size of the MDB which in Access 2000 is 2GB. In practice you may encounter limitations due to table, query and application design, hardware configuration, concurrent usage, etc. Access can handle a large number of records but server based database products such as SQL Server generally will handle large numbers of records better than Access.
