I was wondering if any knows of a size limitation for MS
Access. I have a database that has over 50,000 records.
I am running Window XP Professional and Access 2002 on a
computer with 1GB of Ram. However, since I have
converted from Access 95, which was about three months
ago have have been experiencing very noticable slow
response time and sometimes my computer locks up.

Any information I get will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Righteousone!
 
Righteousone,

The size limit for an MDB file is 2Gb. The problems you are
experiencing are unlikely to be related to your database size.
 
thanks Steve,

Do you have any idea what my problem could be and how I
can approach fixing it.

50,000 records is negligible. 5,000,000 I'd be more concerned about.

The three most common performance problems in Access 2000 or newer
are:
- LDB locking which a persistent recordset connection or an always
open bound form corrects (multiple users)
- sub datasheet Name property set to [Auto] should be [None]
- Track name AutoCorrect should be off

If the problem is for everyone when starting up the MDB then it likely
needs a decompile.

For more information on these, less likely causes, other tips and
