What is the maximum # of rows that can be used in an Access table?

There is no explicit limit. A single .mdb file can contain up to two
gigabytes of data.

In practice, if you've got over 10,000,000 rows in your largest table,
you may need to start seriously thinking about SQL/Server or another
client/server architecture. I know of databases with more rows
(carefully designed and maintained), and others with far fewer which
were moved to SQL for performance reasons (requiring substantial
redesign in the process).
