It's still 2GByte (2048 Mbyte) for any single .mdb file. Regular
compaction is essential for decent performance; a split database
(tables in one shared database, forms, reports, queries etc. in
individual frontends) is needed if it's a shared database. If you're
storing graphical images... don't! Access is TERRIBLE at handling
them; store the images in external files and store links to them in
your database.
