[AccessD] Record Maximum

Thanks guys for your input.  I was just looking for some ways to explain
to the customer that the rumor that they heard about Access databases
crashing when the size of the database reached over 100mb.  I already
explained that this was a vicious rumor and explained to them how it
works, but they were not totally convinced so I was looking for more
amminition to though at them to eleviate their concerns.

Thanks again

...as JC pointed out, the "number" of records is rarely the driving
factor ...I'd add to JC's comments that the record length plays into the
issue as well ...if each record is 2k its a major factor in your
considerations.

...and while record count IS a factor in archiving, its not THE major
factor ...I baseline archive a record whenever it meets certain client
specific milestones and only IF the client concurs on a record by record
basis ...a dead record is a dead record whether there are 2K or 2M of
them
