[AccessD] A Question of Timing

"All of Shakespeare's plays requires less than 250K ANSI text or 0.5 meg"

I don't think so. Assuming an average of 6 letters per word (quite a low
average) that would be about 42,000 words. That's just a little more than
'Hamlet' alone, never mind the whole of Willie's output.  

There are 37 plays and the 5 longest and 5 shortest add up to about 240,000
*words*. See http://www.shaksper.net/archives/1994/0714.html

I think you meant something more like 250 Meg.

Even so, I doubt if all the labels on all the controls of an Access app.
come to any significant total amount of text (these days, considering how
much memory is standard).

Actually there might not be that much of a memory requirement for a 
collection
All of Shakespeare's plays requires less than 250K ANSI text or 0.5 meg 
Unicode
He would at most require a couple of hundred K storage. Complex graphic
forms alone might require 50K storage. Spare no expense. Throw the bird
another seed.
