Does anybody know if there is a limit on how many rows and columns are
allowed in an access table? Thanks.

More critically, there's a hard limit of 2000 characters *actually used* in any single record - that is, you can define a table with 255 fields of 100 bytes each, and even put a lot of data into it, but you'll get an error the first time you try to put ten characters into each field. There is no explicit limit on the number of rows; you're limited to 2 GByte (1 GByte for A97 and older) in any single .mdb file. In practice a 10,000,000 row table is getting pretty big. John W.
