XP doesn't volunteer to "split" the file into several
floppies like previous versions did. It just tells me
the file is too big for the floppy but gives me no
options other than "retry" or "cancel." The file is an
XP Access database. Any thoughts, anyone?

One possibility is to get WinZip, which includes a facility to span a
compressed file-set over floppies.

Alternative is to use some more up to date and larger capacity medium,
depending on just how big the file is
