The point I was making was not in defense of Access. I know Owen and what he's doing. My point was that I don't think his files are nearly as big as Michaels archives, so I don't think file size is the problem. The drivers may be. The install may be hosed as well. I agree - I'd get out of Access ASAP too, but until he can, there are other things he can try.
