Can anyone tell the maximum number of records an MsAccess table can have?

in advance, thanks.

StellJess,
I don't think there is a row count limitation, as such. What is limited is the size of the mdb file, so if your table is "narrow", or contains lots of nulls, the row count can get really high--I have created tables with several hundred thousand rows without any problem (except performance). When your tables get very big, you need to use indexing very carefully.

This site has some good info on the subject:

Performance on an Access table wanes about at 100,000 records.
