The limtation of 2 Giga with Access 2000 is not enough for my databases.

No.
You can download SQL Server Express edition and install that on your PC, or
you can change your database design so that it uses less space.
What are you trying to do?

Hi David,
It's a big cleaning operationn to table having 1,5 Million rows and several
columns. I need to get rid of some commas, quotes etc. that will block the
usage in the further processes. It seems that my VBA increases the total
Access 2000 file size over the limit and halts the process completely. Anyway
the Access and all files are located in company server and not my PC.
Regards
Ari

Does SQL Server Express have a larger capacity, David? I know MSDE was
capped at 2 Gb as well.

Constantly adding and deleting records to Jet database can bloat the *.mdb
file size. If records are deleted regularly, you need to compact the *.mdb
file in order to tell its "true" size. There is a chance that your db size
is still well below 2G if you haven't do compacting for some time.

1.5 million rows is not really that large in that you should be hitting the
limit of ms-access.
What is the size of the database after a compact and repair?

Are you regularly compacting your database? This can help with reducing its

Write the changes to an empty database so that you have
a new, clean copy of the database, instead of trying to
make the changes in place.
Post your VBA code here so that we can check to see if
it can be improved.
And, like everyone else says :~) What do you get when
you compact?
