Ah, I see. Microsoft introduces artificial restrictions "because they can". Just like they could have fixed all the stupid bugs and programming errors in SQL Server in the 32-bit version, but refused to do so because they think more bits is better. Just like they cannot comprehend "data structures" and instead artificially limit all sorts of things by choosing stupid arbitrary limits that cannot be changed. You compiled your application as 64-bit and the Jet in-process com objects are 32-bit. Why not just recompile with a 32-bit compiler? > > Other suggests are welcomed? > > Microsoft SQL Server is free (with a limitation of a 4GB database) and > it probably integrates the best with other Microsoft "technologies" (I use > that word very loosely). > Yes I use it in other contests but, as written in another message, in > need a serverless solutions. There is an embedded version of SQL Server (forget what it is called) but it does not work with network filesystems either. Very little works for shared-update access over a network filesystem -- and if you turn off the "features" required to make them work (the same features that make network filesystems useable for any other purpose that does NOT include non-exclusive updating), they will then work about the same speed as a secretary with a rolodex and a pen (ie, speed measured in transactions/hour rather than transactions/second).
