Default binaries.dat in Access DB schema?

I am running a distributed application on a Windows 2003 server box. The app
uses an Access DB and I am curious what, if any, file size limitations there
are on the binaries.dat file?

Previously, I was hitting up against a 1GB limitation on the sblvc.mdb file,
but I have corrected that issue. Now I just want to make sure that
binaries.dat (which is now over 1GB) isn't going to halt my application.

thanks,
John


John,

I will assume that when you say a binaries.dat file that you are referring to
an Access database (MDB/ACCDB) file.

An Access database using JET 4 ( Acess 2000/2002/2003) or ACE (2007) has a
file size limit of 2 gig.

Is you application split into a front end and back end?
